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 Cause 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
