Overnight Sensation

Hollywood, sure looked good to me when

I first come

Made my vow, somehow everyone would

Know my name

Patiently, kept on waiting for my chance

To come

Prideful me, there's no returning to where

I came from

But she went back, the lovely lady who

Come west with me

She could not wait, now she's married

Living happily

But i still say a superstar is just a break

Away

And i must try, it's do or die until i hear

The people say...

You made it, you made it

Our local boy has made it good

You made it, you made it

Back again, make the rounds and go from

Door to door

Sorry friend, you're just not quite what we

Were looking for

A letter comes, she still writes to you from

Time to time

You'd like to call, but she's too happy and

Besides you need the dime

Then at lost, someone's calling with a role

To play

It concerns a man who's lost his lover when

She went away

A star is born, no one's ever seen it played

So well

It almost seems the tears are real but it's

Just too hard to tell...

You made it, you made it

Found the price and paid it, i knew

You would

You made it, you made it
