 He was a long tall stranger from way down south where he'd left his life behind
 He had a big old Gibson and a pickup truck and Shenandoah eyes
 And I remember him sitting in that local bar where I earned my pay each night
 Singing my songs to empty chairs and going home half tight
 So the nights rolled by like headlights shining on a lonesome strip of tar
 I kept his words of kindness close to me like a pick on my guitar; And we
 Talked about the singers and the songs we loved and the songs we'd most forgot
 In that run-down bar they'd make last call and I'd never want to stop
 'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's dreams
 With my cowboy boots and my old six-string
  Hitching my wagon to a star dreaming of leaving those local bars
 When I'd get him up at closing time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
 Like the star that he longed to be he looked a helluva lot like me
                       
 He'd played a lot of places where the only wages were food and beer for free
 No fancy licks but he had him a gift for the kind of songs he'd sing
 But you do what you can to be a satisfied man just to have your peace of mind
 So he gave it all up for a government job where the paychecks come on time
 So now he comes to the bar to hear me play guitar and to share a drink or two
 And we sit swapping tales of where we've been and what we'd rather do
There's a wealth of danger when you're talking to strangers and I meet them
   all the time                                                    
 But my heart knew better than my head when I looked into those eyes
 'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's dreams with my cowboy boots
   and my old six-string      
Hitching my wagon to a star dreaming of leaving those local bars
 When I'd get him up at closing time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
 Like the star that he longed to be he looked a hell of a lot like me
 Instrumental :
                      
                         
 Well maybe I'll quit when I got me a kid and a place to call my own        
 But tonight there ain't nobody there waiting up for me at home
 It's a hell of a way to live from day to day not knowing where you're bound
 But the look in his eyes made me realize I was glad for the life I'd found
 'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's dreams with my cowboy boots
   and my old six-string
 Hitching my wagon to a star dreaming of leaving those local bars
 When I'd get him up at closing time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
 Like the star that he longed to be he looked a hell of a lot like me
 Like the star that he'd always be he looked a hell of a lot like me
