And The Crowd Goes Wild

Oh, come on, here it goes

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 around his neck payin'

Payin' them dues by starvin' to death

But he told his Momma every time he came 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)

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)

An' the crowd goes wild

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

An' the crowd goes wild

(You're shinin' like a superstar)

You're shinin' like a superstar, baby

(An' the crowd goes wild)

You're shinin' like a superstar

You're shinin' like a superstar, baby

You're shinin' like a superstar
