The bright lights and the big city life*
Drove you right out of town
I watched you leave with a smile on my face
I knew I never could tie you down
You got settled in, down at the Seashore Inn
And made some new friends of your own
Now it's been two years and I'm not quite sure
But I don't think you're coming home
While you're staring at the stars tonight
I'm all wrapped up in blue
[Chorus:]
If I had it my way
I'd be on that train to L.A.
'Cause I never met somebody quite like you
And I think it would be awesome
If you'd get on the plane to Austin
We both knew if was long overdue
But you finally got your break
Now you get to see the world and I'm so proud
Everybody knows your name
Don't take this wrong because I know you belong
Out there on that stage
But I swear if my life was an open book
It would be missing a page
[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus]
Maybe missing you is more than I can do
