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
