Lyrics
There?s a light that shines for me out on highway 63
whispered secrets in the dark, I was blinded by her spark
I?ve seen comets in the night bit this one boys she?s a meteorite
burning through the atmosphere of the choking smoke and the stinking beer aha
Tell her she?s a shooting star
when she shows you exactly where you are
It?s a hillbilly town on a Saturday night
She looks a little softer in the neon light
no one here is gonna bring her no harm
she numbs them all out through a hole in her arm
maybe she?ll smile and take you back, out behind the railroad track
where she sleeps all day cause the nights are long
and her train of pain keeps a rolling on aha
Tell her.................
Shooting stars don?t last that long when the light hits then they?re already gone
but light lasts for eternity it?s just that it ain?t so easy to see
Search the heavens with your eyes when love finds you it never dies
even in this atmosphere of the choking smoke and the stinking beer aha
Tell her..............
