Dm G

Good in the hotspot light

She made the local cable shows where the camera fell in love with her face

C F C F C F C F

After a couple of weekends the groupies were crawling all over the place

C F C F C

But she knows you don't get where you going unless you

So she sings tonight to 20,000 plus and the young

Girls scream out loud, man that could be us

C F C F C

She's a big star as she eats caviar just before she
