I was looking for a change of scene
You were looking at a magazine
It was red carpets and limousines
The grass seemed so much greener
All we wanted was to get there fast
So we packed up everything we had
Runnin' on hope and a tank of gas
Like dreams ain't just for dreamers
We couldn't wait to leave that life behind
Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign
And one of those early nights
When the stars come out
Oh, the stars come out and shine
And they burn so bright
They drown the downtown lights
When the stars come out
Oh, when the stars come out
Everybody's somebody, someday
Everybody's got a part to play
Everybody's tryin' to find a way
To say, what needs saying
Everybody's got a friend of a friend
Somebody that can get you in
Begging Angels for a sin
In the game that we're all playin'
You and I, we're gamblers
Sorting cards that we can't see
I'm betting on you
You're betting on me
One of those early nights
When the stars came out
Oh, the stars come out and shine
And they burn so bright
They drown the downtown lights
When the stars come out
Oh, when the stars come out
♪
Down on the freeway
The sun is out of sight
And I got a feelin'
Tonight might be the night
Yeah, tonight might be the night
One of those early nights
When the stars come out
Oh, the stars come out and shine
And they burn so bright
They drown the downtown lights
When the stars come out
Oh, when the stars come out
When the stars come out
Oh-whoa
When the stars come out
