From rags to rhinestones
Rented rooms to mansion home
Ride'n in long shiny cars
Instead of walking all alone in the rain
From rags to rhinestones
Shooting star from the great unknown
Yea, you should have seen me then
From rags to rhinestones
And back again

Well I got two banks accounts
And they're both over drawn
Had to have my shoes resoled
Now that my cars are all gone
And the worst hurt of all
Is you wont return my call
So I have another beer
And stare at the writing on the wall

From rags to rhinestones
Rented rooms to mansion home
Ride'n in long shiny cars
Instead of walking all alone in the rain
From rags to rhinestones
Shooting star from the great unknown
Yea, you should have seen me then
From rags to rhinestones
And back again

When I was on top
Everybody called me friend
But now people turn their faces whenever I walk in
And I know I've done things the hard way
I was the toast of the town
Now they kick me out of bars on lower broadway

From rags to rhinestones
Rented rooms to mansion home
Ride'n in long shiny cars
Instead of walking all alone in the rain
From rags to rhinestones
Shooting star from the great unknown
Yea, you should have seen me then
From rags to rhinestones
And back again
And back again
