Patty McBride Lyrics

Precious Patty McBride had nothin` to hide

Her magical songs just poured out from inside

For one to see her is for one to love her

And to go to ya`ll`s friends and say



Whoa, She`s a star and she shines

Lord knows why, godlike and divine

For we all want to love her

And we all want to be near her

As if you too could shine



Lately her press has been a mess

They tell of bad taxes, drug habits and wine

Did you hear her own mother would not even love her

Yet her fans write letters that say



Oh, you`re a star and you shine

Lord knows why, godlike and divine

For we all want to love you

And we all want to be near you

As if we too could shine



Back in Tennessee her old boyfriend reads

About her new lover toned and tanned and perfect teeth

Well, that old boyfriends mother says Hey, how`s Patty

With shame he turns to say



Oh momma, she`s a star and she shines

Lord knows why, godlike and divine

For I wanted to love her

And I wanted to be near her

As if I too could shine
