Shooting Star
His old worn out black Stetson
Hangs lonely on a peg up on the wall
His Gibson six string sits in the corner
Now it seems it’s never played at all
Dusty pictures on the bookshelves
Little captured moments of another time
His empty glass by the computer
Next to half a bottle of moonshine
He fell asleep alone again last night
With words he just couldn’t seem to find
Looking for that perfect hurting song
That kept running through his mind
Chorus:
He used to be the local shining star
Played the honkey-tonks show up in his fancy car
Pretty girls would chant his name
And everyone all said he’d go real far
Yet the booze and age finally took it’s toll
Now he’s just another burned out shooting star
Years and whiskey took its toll on him
The gigs and offers finally just ran out
He wasn’t meant to make it to the big time
Which was all he ever dreamed about
In his mind he’s down in Nashville
His one word name on people’s lips
Even bigger than George Canyon
Smiling on all those fancy video clips

I hear this echoing in the halls!
I have to share this with Paul too :)
I started months ago (Stevie Nicks or Heart style), to write music and thinking of giving it a go again, soft romantic Rock *Maybe I will drag my journal out, you seem to tempt me lately... or I write Romatic Country, Lori Morgan style or the Judds!
I would love to hear you sing this!
WArm Light, Love, Happiness and Peace! Warrior Lady Sheeeoox
