As Big a Star
By Peter Dawson
Capo 2
D D7
I used to lie in bed at night, I tossed and turned to think
G Gm
About singin’ on that big stage, I was just on the brink
D A
Of fame and fortune, drivin’ me a fancy car
D D7
But I'm still drivin’ that old pick up, I'm still singin’ in them bars
G Gm
I don’t have a million dollars, just this old guitar
D A
and the songs I sing But I pour my heart out in a melody
Chorus:
G A D
It don’t break my heart that I'm not on the Opry
G A D
As long as I can touch folks when I sing
G A Bm E7
Dalhart to Del Rio and all points in between
G A D
It’s as big a star as I ever wanna be
Well it’s two in the morning and everybody’s gone
I count the money from that tip jar, it’s just enough to get me home
And fill my coffee cup, oh lord this is the life I love
Chorus
Dalhart to Del Rio
And all points in between
It’s as big a star
As I ever wanna be
