At eighteen hundred forty-seven feet
And visible for sixty miles
She's ten thousand pounds of steel
And seventeen thousand five hundred watts

She lights up in many different colors
A shape watching over the city
Illuminated until midnight
Symbolizing the progressive spirit

Of Roanoke, Roanoke
I can see you down below
I love the sight in front of me
I've always wanted to see
The brilliant shining emblem
Atop the mountain standing high
In Roanoke, Roanoke
The asterisk since nineteen forty-nine

In the great big Blue Ridge Parkway
She has a mighty overlook
As the world's largest man-made star
Reposes on the horizon

Of Roanoke, Roanoke
I can see you down below
I love the sight in front of me
I've always wanted to see
The brilliant shining emblem
Atop the mountain standing high
In Roanoke, Roanoke
The asterisk since nineteen forty-nine

Two thousand feet of neon tubing
Burst into majestic view
Grazing all the clouds above
Barely touching the five sharp points

Of Roanoke, Roanoke
I can see you down below
I love the sight in front of me
I've always wanted to see
The brilliant shining emblem
Atop the mountain standing high
In Roanoke, Roanoke

Of Roanoke, Roanoke
I can see you down below
I love the sight in front of me
I've always wanted to see
The brilliant shining emblem
Atop the mountain standing high
In Roanoke, Roanoke
The asterisk since nineteen forty-nine
