Star in the Dust - Walter Egan

It’s a dirty day in L. A

A rainy night in New York City

I feel like I’m so far away

From the good things that life has to give me

I know I never will be satisfied

But it don’t make me worry

Step by step, I’ll just take my time

And I’m never in a hurry

Star in the dust

But it’s gonna shine someday

Star in the dust

I’m gonna be fine, yea, yea

I’m looking for a woman to hold me

'Cause love ain’t just enough to get by

I recall what somebody once told me

They said, «Only the lucky ones will survive»

I know I never will be satisfied

But I’m never going to stop

I’ll keep on trying 'til the day

That I’m riding on the top

Star in the dust

But it’s gonna shine someday

Star in the dust

I’m gonna be fine, yea, yea, alright

When I feel like I’m fallin'

I tell myself, «It's only a stage»

And I hear somebody callin'

They say, «Pick yourself up and start over again»

I know I never will be satisfied

But I’m never going to stop

I’ll keep on trying 'til the day

That I’m riding on the top
