[Verse 1] It all started with a dare A dare I thought that I would share With my friends from down in the holler Cover charge won’t but a dollar At the Baton Rouge Town Hall they opened up a karaoke bar come sing, come be a star they said I guess it kinda went to my head... [Chorus] And that dare to sing I took From one note Knew they’d be hooked When I got up on that stage Built from wood Decayed from age The microphone It wasn’t on So my big debut went wrong But they hollered “Keep on goin’ girl" so I thought man how I ruled I always knew I'd be a star and tonight id go real far [Verse 2] Neon flickers on the wall Plastic trophies in the hall Paper sign that said “You’re a star” while my knees they knocked my heart it crawled Missed the key But felt the truth Every crack and every croak raised the roof [Verse 3] ‘Cause that dare to sing I took it One off-key note They shook it Turned my wrong song to their favorite 'cept the dj cuz he did hate it On that stage of crooked planks Rusty nails and coffee stains I found out you can still belong singing out a off key song [Bridge] Now every Friday Same old hall Same old friends Same warbled drawl We pass that dare around and share it (woah) on.karaoke night we blare it here in baton rouge they love it more when your song sounds like an open sore [Chorus] So take that dare to sing Just take it If your voice might crack Then let it On that leaning Creaking Hometown stage the microphone stays off and still they sing And if the timing’s all just rough They’ll still cheer no matter how you sung ‘Cause you showed your heart was worth it Yeah They’ll cheer like you sang perfect [Outro] so next time your in Louisiana come on down, say that we sent ya no matter how you sound you'll be a star, they'll buy a round no matter how off key you'll raise the roof yea. just. ask. me..... the stage you're on it May break but down here, that chance we love to take.... [End Song]
