Come in Miss Virginia
Long way from Thunder Bay
Promises and favours
Down on the motor way
All my life I've been sheltered
All my life I've been scared
Down in the broken valley
Swingin' on the broken vine
Drownin' my whiskey wages
Waiting for you to rise
All my life I've been restless
All my life I've been spared
Chorus ~
Daddy's gonna make you a great big star
Do what he can for me
Daddy's gonna make you a great big star
He says everybody shines
Daddy's gonna make you a great big star
Do anything he can
Daddy's gonna make you a great big star
He says everybody shines tonight
I thought my eyes were open
I thought the world was blind
Now I'm sittin' in the company of strangers
Now I'm sittin' here doing the time
All my life I've been star struck
All my life I've been a little untamed
Chorus
All my life I've been broken
All my life I've been a little insane
Chorus +
Shines tonight ~ x 6
