Another fallen star
She walked into the room
With a swagger in the hips
Her hair was golden brown
Red ruby paint upon the lips
High school years were over
Her small town was left behind
She had now passed eighteen years
And swore this would be her time
Planned to get a part time job
Then move to worldwide fame
She knew she'd be a star
Everyone would know her name
That was ten years ago
And she's still in the diner
She's never made plans
For trips back to Carolina
She's done living in hope
That her big break will come soon
Meanwhile she takes orders
For the meals served at noon
Still goes out in evenings
With no thought of movie scripts
One more man will take her home
Seduced by red ruby lips
