Burning Stars

Underneath the vast, starry sky,

Firelight flickers, memories fly.

Cooler filled with dreams gone cold,

Fourth of July, stories told.

Driving down these midnight roads,

Barn burning bright, nobody loads.

Laughter and love in the summer air,

Moments so precious, beyond compare.

Chasing that country queen,

Living the night like a dream.

Now shadows fall and memories fade,

Lost in the darkness I betrayed.

Oh, I wish I could take it all back,

The fire, the fun, the love I lack.

Devil’s liquor, my only friend,

Wishing these demons would end.

Best Friday ever, paradise found,

Now alone, no one around.

Some dreams burn bright, some burn out,

Lost in the darkness, filled with doubt.

Chasing that country queen,

Living the night like a dream.

Now shadows fall and memories fade,

Lost in the darkness I betrayed.

Oh, I wish I could take it all back,

The fire, the fun, the love I lack.

Devil’s liquor, my only friend,

Wishing these demons would end.

Stars above, guide me home,

From this darkness, I can roam.

Hope’s a fire, flickering still,

Clinging to a past I wish was real.

Driving out to nowhere’s end,

Seeking peace to start again.

Barn fire burns in my mind,

Leaving all my sins behind.
