Highway 101 ~ Long Way Down

She started out cold, she started out hungry
With an ache in her soul and a dream in her heart
And she traveled down a road that wasn't so easy
And she came so far palying that guitar

She learned about trust, she learned about envy
She learned the names of everybody else in line
Some because friends, some became crazy
Waitin' all that time for a chance to shine

{chorus}
If you make it to the top, you're the talk of town
But you better not stop, better not turn around
'Cause it's a long way down, it's a long way down

She took a band and a bus to the town and the places
Where they clapped their hands and called her name
The stage rocked like a boat on a ocean of faces
She rose to fame and her whole life changed

She'd be driving on her way to the show
She'd hear her name on the radio
She'd hear the man on the radio station
Calling her an overnight sensation
