[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm flat-busted
Wild-eyed and free
I couldn't get arrested if I tried
A has-been at a mere 55

[Verse 2]
Straight, honest
Forthright and true
Some great expectations for someone
Doesn't anybody know how to have fun?

[Chorus]
But I'm gonna be a big star
I'm gonna be a big star someday
I'm gonna be a big star
Someday

[Verse 3]
Yeah, the grape's bitter
I'm no quitter
Revolutions come, one by one
Seems it's high noon, and I ain't got no gun

[Bridge]
So hard
So hard
So hard getting by
[Chorus]
Gonna be a big star
I'm gonna be a big star someday
I'm gonna be a big star
Someday

[Verse 4]
Fine bourbon
Cuban cigars
Some rude remarks observed at the C.C. Bar
Yeah, I'm perfecting the finest art of wasting hours

[Chorus]
But I'm gonna be a big star
Gonna be a big star someday
Gonna be a big star
Yeah, I'm gonna be a big star
Someday
