Backstory:

I always told my wife she could have been a Movie Star instead of marrying me and I would write a song about that one day. I finally got the chance to write it with Jerry and Randy.

Lyrics:

                                                  
You Could’a Been a Movie Star (Duet)
Vs 1
They fell in love in High School, in their Senior Year, the football star and the Homecoming Queen
After graduation she headed to L.A., while Uncle Sam sent him on his first trip overseas
They had different plans and different dreams
Vs 2
As fate would have it, she got signed and landed her first role, the same week he was shot and paralyzed
When she got the call, she was determined she would be, the first thing he would see there when he opened up his eyes
And he told her when he saw her by his side
Chorus
You could’a been a movie star. Girl you could’a had it all. 
Ride around in a chauffeured car, Hollywood’s first call
Everyone would know your name, an All-American sweetheart
I can’t believe you chose me to play this part, but here you are
You could’a been a movie star
Vs 3
She gave up fame and fortune, and never did look back, leavin’ Tinsel Town with few regrets.
And when he wheeled into the church with all the strength he had, she cried when he stood up to meet her in her long, white dress
She said, “I do,” and then he said
Repeat Chorus
Tag/ending
Now yearbooks and old photographs show all that they’ve been through
As the grandkids flip through pages, one says, “Wow. Grandma is that you?”
Repeat Chorus
