America’s Sweetheart Lyrics by Ben Chapman

Downbeat

2024

[Verse 1]
Well, Hollywood Boulevard maxed out the credit card
Weed in the dash and two tires flat from a pothole
She's cigarette butts in an old Coke can
Never got a second chance, burned-out star of the rodeo
[Chorus]
Now even America's sweetheart is bitter
Turns out most everything that glitters isn't gold
Overpromised, underdelivered
Never saw a single dime for all the years she sold
And now she's just getting old
America's sweetheart
[Verse 2]
Well, how long can you love on a memory
Like the quarterback talking 'bout a state champ team, showing off his ring?
America's sweetheart raises her right arm
Champagne toast to a well-dressed ghost of what used to be
[Chorus]
Now even America's sweetheart is bitter
Turns out most everything that glitters isn't gold
Overpromised, underdelivered
Never saw a single dime for all the years she sold
And now she's just getting old
America's sweetheart
[Post-Chorus]
America's sweetheart
[Chorus]
Now even America's sweetheart is bitter
Turns out most everything that glitters isn't gold
Overpromised, underdelivered
Never saw a single dime for all the years she sold
And now she's just getting old
America's sweetheart
[Outro]
They say Earth ain't the center of the universe
It's just water and dirt on the lower back forty of the galaxy
They say it all started out with a bang
But the end seems to be fading out like a slow kinda tragedy
