(Jeffrey Steele/Craig Wiseman)

Oh, c'mon, let it go

He was an underdog; a no threat;
A NASCAR jockey, a rookie; a wannabe
Still wet behind the ears,
A red-line revver just a-jammin' his gears
There are those that are, an' those that ain't
The quickest get stickers,
He was nothin' but paint
Chartreuse paint

Big race, now we cut to, the last ten laps:
Here comes Junior, sneakin' up
From the back of the pack, with fire in his eyes;
Wavin' out the window as he passes 'em by
The tension mounts: now he's number two;
All out of rubber an' runnin' on fumes
It's door to door, outta turn four:
He sees those chequers an' he hears that roar

An' the crowd goes wild
An' the crowd goes wild
You're shinin' like a superstar, baby,
An' the crowd goes wild

He played the honky-tonks, the roadside bars,
A real humdinger; a blue-eyed singer
With a red guitar arund his neck
Payin' them dues by starvin' to death
But he told his Momma every time he come back,
"One of these days I'm gonna buy you, a big long Cadillac
"An' get you outta this shack"

Then he hit the road, frontin' the band
Six long hairs bobbin' up an' down,
In a Chevy van, all beat up;
He did a lotta givin' but he never gave up
Then one night, he wrote a song
Made a little record; started catchin' on
Now it's coliseums, he's all the rage:
The lights go down when he hits the stage

An' the crowd goes wild
An' the crowd goes wild
You're shinin' like a superstar, baby,
An' the crowd goes wild

(You're shinin' like a superstar, baby)

Whooa Yeah!

Go boy!

Yeah, the crowd goes wild
An' the crowd goes wild
You're shinin' like a superstar, baby,
An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar, baby)
An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar)

An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar, baby)
An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar)

An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar, baby)
An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar)

An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar, baby)
An' the crowd goes wild
(You're shinin' like a superstar)
