Stars Don't Shine

The Stars Don’t Shine

-Will Wakefield-

Frankie bought a new stick, got married a bit to quick
Now he’s spinning his wheel’s in the mud
And his dad got a new wife, dumped his kids and his old life
For a blue eyed, blonde moment of doubt

John’s dragging a stock car, with a flair of a rock star
And he’s driving his ego up and down the main
While Aaron’s on the ham, in an interstate jam
Telling his girl he won’t be home for supper

The stars don’t shine, the stars don’t shine
in this city
The stars don’t shine, the stars don’t shine
In this town

And Stevie got sick, it came on him real quick
He might not live to see his next birthday
And his partner stayed with him, through the thick and the thin
Maybe now they can go and get hitched

Carries in a sundress, she’s ready to confess
She makes all the boys here squirm
The cigarettes, and wine, and the endless summer time
Do wonders for you, for you baby

The stars don’t shine, the stars don’t shine
in this city
The stars don’t shine, the stars don’t shine
In this town

Annie can’t stop the churning, when the tides are a turning
Her old man has got to either stay or go
He’s either fighting or he’s drinking, yeah not even thinking
That fifteen years might be long enough for her

Frank’s at the strip club, and he’s blown out his pay stub
Annie won’t be too happy about that
She stopped with the affection, and they lost their connection
Now what’s a man supposed to do, supposed to do…

The stars don’t shine, the don’t shine
in this city
The stars don’t shine, the stars don’t shine
In this town
