  • Ain't we all the stars
    Ain't we all the stars
    Playing the leading part
    In our own soap opera?

    Sherry shampooed 'til she got her own chair
    Now she's playing shrink to every head of hair
    A mani or a pedi or color or a cut
    Eight hours a day, it's the same old stuff
    They got trouble with their ex and his next wife
    Sands through the hourglass, days of our lives

    Ain't we all the stars
    Ain't we all the stars
    Playing the leading part
    In a daytime drama?
    Young and restless hearts
    Duckin' and throwing darts
    Yeah, we're all big stars
    In our own soap opera

    Jimmy wipes down the bar, makes a mean martini
    They tip it on back and give him the skinny
    Shaken or stirred or a bottle or a draft
    They're baring their souls to the bottom of the glass
    They got trouble with their girl and their girlfriend's mama
    This one life to live got a whole lotta drama

    Ain't we all the stars
    Ain't we all the stars
    Playing the leading part
    In a daytime drama?
    Young and restless hearts
    Duckin' and throwing darts
    Yeah, we're all big stars
    In our own soap opera
    Yeah, yeah

    This town might be little bitty
    But just ask Sherry or Jimmy
    If Hollywood was handing out Emmys
    We'd all be saying gimme, gimme, gimme Writer/s: BRANDY CLARK, BRYAN SIMPSON
