lyrics

Watching a star he walks along and gently stabs his thumb out at a car
It passes by and leaves him there to wander in the dark,
He is lonely
In a country bar he drinks a beer and wonders what his wife is doing now
She’s probably in the bedroom spilling tears on her nightgown
He is sorry

Down the road still he’s slipping ever farther away
Down the road still he’s seeking greener pastures everyday
As the dandelions grow, and the seasons come and go
You can see his shadow walking down the road

A freight in Omaha, a vagabond contained within a sidling boxcar
Asleep among the baggage as he clutches his guitar
He is empty
Down the boulevard he plays another nightclub, But his face is getting hard
The echoes from the old applause is all he’s hearing now-
And it’s deafening

Chorus

You see he’s changed, even though he’s come so far
When he exchanged his love for a guitar
Now he can say someday he’ll be a star
But that’s the way
That old musicians are

Watching a star he walks along and gently stabs thumb out at a car
It passes by and leaves him there to wander in the dark
He is dying

Chorus

Now in his fifth year as a Solo Performer on the National stage, Bat leaves quite an impression wherever he plays.
Amazing guitar playing, wonderful storytelling, absolutely delightful. ... more
