Nur Ein XVIII Final Round "Local Superstar"

[Lunkhead]

Local Superstar
by Moss Palace

Living in a small town
Little minds, tall clowns
There’s not a lot to do
Old man just got out
Had a job but now
She’s into something new

She’s a tornado
Hotshot of her own show
Local superstar
Skip the bravado
And cheap name drops
When she walks in the room
The record stops

Down at the liquor store
Pool hall, dive bar
She really hits the scene
Flick of a cigarette
Might be all the time you get
From this hot machine

She’s a tornado
Hotshot of her own show
Local superstar
Skip the bravado
And cheap name drops
When she walks in the room
The record stops

Shot of tequila
Says, “Hit me” dealer
She always doubles down
Leaves you in ruins
Have no illusions
She doesn’t fuck around

She’s a tornado
Hotshot of her own show
Local superstar
Skip the bravado
And cheap name drops
When she walks in the room
The record stops

She’s a tornado
Hotshot of her own show
Local superstar
Skip the bravado
And cheap name drops
When she walks in the room
The record stops

Intro
Is that Mr K?
Yeah, I heard he’s into music production.
Wow, that’s so dreamy. I can't believe he's right here at the Kwik-Trip

Verse 1
You might see me in the grocery store
Stocking up on eggs, milk, bread, and more
Dropping the kids off at their school
I agree with the assessment that (my dad's not cool)

With power comes responsibility
With none of the former, yeah, that’s me
I do what I like when I’m playing guitar
I’m just your regular, everyday, neighborhood

Chorus 1
Superstar
Drive around in my beat-up car
I don’t even have to go that far
You can see me at the karaoke bar

Verse 2
Taxes, parenting, mowing the lawn
Busting my bones till the break of dawn
Walking the dog and fixing the deck
And after all that (I still need a paycheck)

I could have chosen a different path
Eh, it’s a little late for that.
You can read it all in my memoirs.
I’m just your regular everyday neighborhood

Chorus 2
Superstar
Drive around in my beat-up car
There’s no roadie to tune my guitar
You can see me at the local townie bar

Bridge
Some may want adoring fans
Cheering, excitedly waving their hands
Some may want to ride on tour vans
Exploring distant lands
But for me, I'm good with
proving twenty can't take down this one man band

Verse 3/Pre-chorus 3
Politics, negotiations, and strife
Coworkers, kids, pets, and the (cough)
Keep your head down, kid, you’ll make it far
You, too, could be a regular, everyday

Chorus 3
Superstar
It doesn’t matter who you are
You can be a local superstar
Even if you drive a beat up car
Your two fans won’t have to travel far
Drink until you pass out at the bar
Return the next day for your credit card
Seal your dreams up inside a jar
That you bought on sale from Menard’s
I’m just the neighborhood superstar
Thanks for attending my seminar
I'm your local superstar
I'm your local superstar


I'm your local superstar
