Ron and I wrote this for the 2006 SongU Blind Date Challenge. It was fun and nice writing with him, because he fueled me with completely "out-of-the-box" ideas! [You may want to listen to this song half key below the recording.] This song placed an Honorable Mention in the Song of the Year songwriting contest in October 2014!

Lyrics

Verse 1: I'm gonna make some noise Down here on Music Row When you hear my voice I’m sure then you will know That’s the way it’s gotta go, for me Chorus: It's a long way from Calcutta To the Beat of Music Row But East can meet the best of West, I know Got Porter Wagg'ner's smile And Dolly Parton's style Tunin’ my sitar to an Ibanez guitar I wanna be a country star Oh I gotta be a country star Verse 2: I'm gonna sing some night Where once Charlie Daniels sang I’ll steal the spotlight Shining the best I can That's the way I see this thing, for me Chorus: (same) Bridge: Got to be Got to be Got to be a country star Chorus: (same) Finale: I gotta be a country star Copyright © 2006 Ban Banerjee, Ronnie Wilson
