They say this town stars stay up all night.
Well, I don't know.
Can't see them for the glow of the neon lights.
And it's a long way from
here to the place
where the home fires burn.
Well, it's 2000 miles and one day of turn.
Dear mom and dad, please send money.
I'm so broke that it ain't funny.
Well,
I don't need much,
just enough to get me through.
Please don't worry, cause I'm alright.
See, I'm playing here at the bar tonight.
Well,
this time I'm gonna make our dreams come true.
Well,
I love you more than anything in the world.
Love your baby girl.
Blacktop,
blue sky,
big town full of little white lies.
Well,
everybody's your friend,
you can never be sure.
They'll promise fancy cars and diamond
rings and all sorts of shiny things.
But girl, you'll
remember what your knees are for.
