South County Movie Star

Came out west to be a movie star
But there ain't no movie theaters where we are
Oh I know it's a farce, but we're coming in
To Brighter Days

Came out West to build a music scene
And they told us we were crazy now we know what they mean
But we're running 'til the light is ours

Now we're falling farther than we thought we could
Though life is hard, the livin' sure is good

Came out West to kiss a boy that I liked
But I drove him up into the mountain side
And I know he'll be a long time in coming down

It's part and parcel to the dream we weave
I said you and me darling and the Bea makes three
We'll run, run, until the light is ours

Now we're falling farther than we thought we could
Though life is hard, the livin' sure is good
I'm gonna be a movie star

And I know how it goes when you think you're on your own
And I know how it goes when you think you've gotta show up in some way

But if you can love you anyway
See the light through what they say
I'll tell you what, we're gonna make it
Baby we're gonna make it

Things are getting brighter, lighter
Things are getting brighter everyday

Came out west to be a movie star
But there ain't no movie theaters where we are
From reel to real, I feel it - I know that the light is ours

Now we're falling farther than we thought we could
Though life is hard, the livin' sure is good

I'm gonna be a movie star
