One star rises, one star falls
I hit rock bottom about time you heard the call
Now you’re on your way up and I’m on my way down
And you don’t need me around

There’s nothin’ here to hold me but the past
Looks like even that is fading fast
I don’t think I’ll stay here when you’re gone
Too many memories and this place just feels wrong
It used to be my town, used to be my home
I don’t think I’ll stay here when you’re gone

Well, I watch with all the romance of some long lost cause
Standing at the gate as you bow to their applause
With no real expectation of convincing you to stay
I guess this old dog has had it’s day

They tore down the big house, closed down the dance hall, too
Anything you might recognize has gone the way of me and you
Landmarks and lifelines vanished in the haze
Seems that’s the fate of those who stay
