Stars Lyrics

Fred Eaglesmith - Stars
There were trains wrecked
More buses fell apart
Couldn't see past the lights
Drove into the dark
We tore those places down
We burned them to the ground
When we left those towns
Headed down the road again
And my hands hurt
everynight in all those bars
We played like we were stars
They backed us in the corner
The crowd called out for more
We turned it up too loud
And played our way out the front door
Cory played the drums
Willie played the mandolin
He jumped around the stage
We thought that it would never end
When I'm an old man
And I can't make my way
They'll ask me about my life
And this is what I'll say
We played like we were stars
