MAIN CHARACTER

Alarm went off, I hit it like a drum

Put my lashes on before the coffee's done

Mama sewed sequins 'til her fingers went numb

So I walk like the stage is wherever I'm from

Desert heat, parking lot, heels on the tar

I don't need a spotlight, I know where they are

And if they're looking, let 'em look

If they're talking, let 'em talk

I've been rehearsing my whole life

For a Tuesday morning walk

I'm the main character, roll the opening scene

Hair in the wind, I don't care if it's a breeze

Main character, every sidewalk is mine

Tell the whole world it can wait in line

Oh, oh, oh, watch me go

Oh, oh, oh, I run the show

I'm the main character, baby, didn't you know?

He said I'm too much, I said "then go find less"

Took my name off his lease and I kept the dress

Mama had a rule in the dressing room light

"You don't shrink for a man and you don't shrink tonight"

Rhinestones in a coffee can, needle and thread

Everything I'm wearing, I made it instead

And if they're looking, let 'em look

If they're talking, let 'em talk

I've been rehearsing my whole life

For a Tuesday morning walk

I'm the main character, roll the opening scene

Hair in the wind, I don't care if it's a breeze

Main character, every sidewalk is mine

Tell the whole world it can wait in line

Oh, oh, oh, watch me go

Oh, oh, oh, I run the show

I'm the main character, baby, didn't you know?

Eight shows a week, she never missed a cue

Taught me how to bow and how to push on through

So this one's for the girl in the very last row

It's your movie too. Go.

I'm the main character, roll the opening scene

Hair in the wind, I don't care if it's a breeze

Main character, every sidewalk is mine

Tell the whole world it can wait in line

Oh, oh, oh, watch me go

Oh, oh, oh, I run the show

I'm the main character, baby, didn't you know?
