Hailey Whitters Ten Year Town
[Verse 1]
I'm twelve years into a ten year town
I'm too far in to turn around
Too old to go back to school
Won't be much longer, I'll be old news
I thought I'd be a big star now
I'm twelve years into a ten year town
[Chorus]
For fifteen minutes of fame
Somebody says your name on the TV
Or back of a CD
Waitin' tables another month
Waitin' on that break to come
All it's ever done is break my heart
[Verse 2]
The new It Girl fresh off the bus
She cut right in front of the rest of us
I need longer lashes and a shorter dress
To be that overnight success
I thought this year I'd wear that crown
I'm twelve years into a ten year town
[Chorus]
For fifteen minutes of fame
Somebody says your name on the TV
Or back of a CD
Waitin' tables another month
Waitin' on that break to come
All it's ever done is break my heart
[Bridge]
I didn't come this far
To only go this far
[Interlude]
Mm-mm, oh-oh-oh
Mm, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Payin' dues don't pay the bills
Dreams come true and I think mine will
But lesser fools woulda given up
They don't go for broke like a dreamer does
You gotta get back up when you get knocked down
I'm twelve years into a ten year town
[Outro]
This next song could turn it all around
I'm twelve years into a ten year town
