Shooting Stars

This guy walked into a bar one night Said his name was Waylon Payne Had an Elvis kind of swagger Just a guitar to his name He was rough around the edges But he sang just like a bird So we wrote some songs in Hollywood And made a record no one heard Turn em up and dim the lights Hes gonna take us for a ride down memory lane tonight Yall get your whiskeys and raise em high Heres to every shooting star that never got to shine Its guys like Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark They never really made it big but they sure left a mark With those poetry laced melodies, on all of us God bless the boys from Texas for sticking to their guns Turn em up, dim the lights Theyre gonna take us for a ride down memory lane tonight Yall get your whiskeys and raise em high Heres to every shooting star that never got to shine There was a time I thought I was born to burn so bright Maybe I was, maybe in another life All I know is this old road aint always as it seems One wrong turn might take you right to where you're supposed to be Turn em up and dim the lights Hes gonna take us for a ride down memory lane tonight Yall get your whiskeys and raise em high Heres to every shooting star that never got to shine Turn em up and dim the lights Hes gonna take us for a ride down memory lane tonight Yall get your whiskeys and raise em high Heres to every shooting star that never got to shine
