Lyrics
Elvis, he's a hero, he's a superstar,
They say that Paul McCartney drives a Rolls Royce car;
And Dylan sings for millions
While I just sing for free.
Everybody's makin' it big but me.

CHORUS: Ev’rybody's makin' it big but me,
Ev’rybody's makin' it big but me;
Diamond sings for diamonds
And here's ol’ rhinestone me,
Ev’rybody's makin' it big but me.

I hear that Alice Cooper's got a foxy bitch
To wipe off his snake and keep him rich;
And Elton John's got two fine ladies and Doctor John's got three,
And I'm still seein' them same ol’ sleazos that I used to see.

CHORUS: Everybody’s makin’ it big but me,
Everybody’s makin it big but me,
I got charisma and personality,
How come everybody’s makin’ it big but me.

I paint myself with glitter just like Bowie does
And I wear the same mascara that Mick Jagger does;
I even put some lipstick on, but that just hurt my dad and mom,
And everybody's makin' it big but me

CHORUS: Everybody's makin' it big but me,
Everybody's makin' it big but me;
They found fame and fortune and I found Tennessee,
Everybody’s makin’ it big but me

CHORUS: Everybody's makin' it big but me,
Everybody's makin' it big but me;
They got groupies for their band and all I got is my left hand
And everybody's makin' it big but me
