Star In The Dust
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a dirty day in L.A.,
a rainy night in New York City
I feel like I'm so far away from
the good things life has to give me
I know I never will be satisfied
but it don't make me worry
If I step, I'll just take my time
and I'm never in a hurry
Star in the dust
But it's gonna shine someday
Star in the dust
I'm gonna be fine yea yea
I'm looking for a woman to hold me
'cuz love ain't just enough to get by
I recall what somebody once told me
they said, "Only the lucky ones will survive."
I know I never will be satisfied
but I'm never going to stop
I'll keep on trying 'til the day
that I'm riding on the top
Star in the dust
But it's gonna shine someday
Star in the dust
I'm gonna be fine yea yea
Alright
When I feel like I'm fallin'
I tell myself, "It's only a stage."
And I hear somebody callin'
they say, "Pick yourself up and start over again."
I know I never will be satisfied
but I'm never going to stop
I'll keep on trying 'til the day
that I'm riding on the top
