Shooting Star

Verse 1 He set out for the silver screen
When he sold the family farm
Had a Ying and Yang figure
Tattooed on both his arms

Smoked those Camel cigarettes / Rolled that pack of cigerrettes
In his short sleeved polo shirt
High up on a Hollywood Hill
Emotions in the dirt

Ref 1 That town just made him crazy
Only it took a little while
Laying by the swimming pool
Waiting on the telephone line
A shooting star in the silence of his room / Teardrops fell In the silence of his

Verse 3 Thought he’d throw the towel in
Head to Music City Row
Become big shot country star
That everyone should know

Every night he’d head on down
To the honky tonks and bars
But life became much sadder than
A tear jerking country song

Ref 2 The City made him crazy
Just took a little time
Waiting for inspiration
Hanging round the telephone line
A shooting star in the silence of his room / teardrops fall In the silence of his room

Verse 3 Now he’s back down on the farm
Just fishing in the lake
Out there in the big old world / The big old world just ate him up
It anit no piece of cake

How much disappointment
Is a man supposed to have
He shook his head thinking back
To where it all began

Ref 3 And still he’s going crazy
No reason and no rhyme
The telephone aint ringing
Feels like he’s doing time
A shooting star in the silence of his room

And still he’s going crazy
No reason and no rhyme
The telephone don’t ring no more
He’s lonely all the time
A teardrop falls In the silence of his room
