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
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
Payin' dues don't pay the bills
Dreams come true and I think
But lesser fools woulda given up
They don't go for broke like
You gotta get back up when you
I'm twelve years into a ten year town
