Shooting Star

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thought I saw a shooting star under these city lights Nothing can be beautiful when you're trapped inside And it's hard to fall and it's hard to fight And I can't betray my oath in spite [Chorus] Music City on the rise But I've always been denied Wedged between the railroad and a gun And the gate is shut up tight I'm a stick of dynamite And I've paid every due that's ever come But I don't kneel for you or anyone [Verse 2] Hey old man, come and play your worn-out mandolin He says, "You take your chances boy but one thing to depend You will break and you will bend and they may nеver let you in" [Chorus] Music City on the risе But I've always been denied Wedged between the railroad and a gun And the gate is shut up tight I'm a stick of dynamite And I've paid every due that's ever come But I don't kneel for you or anyone [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Chorus came from the grave swimmin' in my head Saying you can play the honky tonks in heaven when you're dead But prove it here instead [Chorus] Music City on the rise But I've always been denied Wedged between the railroad and a gun And the gate is shut up tight I'm a stick of dynamite And I've paid every due that's ever come But I don't kneel for you or anyone [Outro] Thought I saw a shooting star I thought I saw a shooting star I thought I saw a shooting star I thought I saw a shooting star
