Lyrics Fred Eaglesmith

Fred Eaglesmith

Stars

And our train's wrecked

And our buses fell apart

We couldn't see past the lights

We drove into the dark

We tore those places down

We burned them to the ground

Then we left those towns

Headed down the road again

And my hands hurt from playing my guitar

Every night at all those bars

We played like we were stars

They backed us in the corner

The crowd called out for more

We turned it up too loud

And played our way out the front door

Kori played the drums

Willie played the mandolin

He jumped around the stage

We thought that it would never end

And my hands hurt from playing my guitar

Every night at all those bars

We played like we were stars

When I'm an old man

And I can't make my way

They'll ask me about my life

And this is what I'll say

I'll say my hands hurt from playing my guitar

Every night at all those bars

We played like we were stars

We played like we were stars
