When The Stars Come Out

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
