City Stars

[Verse 1]
Ten miles out of Houston
She hasn't got a dime
But she's going to the land of milk and honey
Oh, standing on the highway
Just across the state line
She's gonna ride on a freight train, she is free

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the girl's got no time
To think about how simple life she's blown away

[Verse 2]
Steppin' off the Greyhound
In downtown L.A
She come a long way from where she used to be, ha-ha-ha
Laughin' at the people
Who begged her to stay
She goes dancin' alone down the street

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah, selling hеr charms to every stranger
Wasting all hеr sunny days

[Chorus]
With city stars in her country eyes
Bright lights, fluorescent light
But she had to be in the big time
Oh, no, lay her life down on the bottom line
Follow her dream through the city
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
If you're down on Main Street
You'll see her there
Lookin' hard, passing cards out for Jesus
She's telling everybody
The time is at hand
And that Satan is coming to meet us

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, Lord, her silvery dreams, all left behind
Faded into yesterday

[Chorus]
With city stars in her country eyes
Bright lights, oh, fluorescent light
But the girl had to be in the big time
Lord, layin' her life down on the bottom line
Talkin' 'bout changes, oh, the girl went through, yeah

Oh, bright lights, bright lights, fluorescent lights
She had to be in the big time
Layin' her life, layin' her life down on the bottom line
Oh, bright, bright
