Chris Ledoux Country Star Lyrics

Country Star Lyrics

She opened up the letter from Nashville Tennessee



He said hon they like my music the songs I wrote for you and me



The boys and me just cut a record and it could hit the charts before too
long



So it's gonna be a while till I can come back home



Yes I'm gonna be a country star and everyone will know my name



Oh you know I love those bright lights when I step on stage to sing



I'll be travlin' round the country with a big bus and a band



So just keep the homefires burnin' while I'm gone



And I'll get home when I can







She said hon I hear your record oh they play it everyday



And everybody really likes it so I guess your on your way



But darling please remember we all need you here at home



And the kids all miss their daddy so don't be gone too long



Yes I know that your a country star and everybody knows your name



And I know you love those bright lights when you step on stage to sing



Just remember we all love you and don't get blinded by the light



We'll just keep the homefires burnin' while you're gone



You know we pray for you each night







After six long months of goin' I guess the road just finally took its toll



Cause his songs has lost all meaning and he felt so all alone



Then one night in Jackson he went out on stage to play



And the crowd stared at disbelief at the words he had to say



I don't want to be a country star it ain't the way I thought it'd be



Well it took me such a long time to know that it ain't the life for me



Cause the days can get so lonely and the nights can get so long



Lord I think it's about time this country star went home



Yes I think that it's about time this country boy went home
