Baby, this letter might be hard to read
But Ive got a strong need to get it all down
Its noon and Im lyin on the bunk in the back of the bus
I got thinkin about us while Im bouncing around
The rising star just ridin along with the rest of the guys
Smoking and gettin high like he does each trip
Bout two oclock hell say I think Ill sip some crow
By the time of the show the rising star will be ripped
Later on when the job is done were back on the bus
Hell turn to the guys and smile in a funny way
And say tell me once again how good I played
And they call him the rising star and they say hes gonna go far
But each night he gets far (?) he ever believed
Something inside me grieves cause sure as hell one day
They say the rising star will fade away
Last night the rising star got lost with a girl for an hour or so
Barely made the shoe, kinda stumbled on
Forgot the words to the song he wrote about his wife
Said guess thats life but I was wrong
Cause every night when I go on Im the rising star
Me and my guitar start to get it on
Living is when they stand and cheering and call my name
But Ill try to change before too long
Something about the here and now said drop a line
To say Im fine but Id like to say not every rising star fades away
And they call me the rising star, baby Im gonna go far
With you beside me I swear by the pen in my hand
Ill be damned if you ever gone to see the day
That drunken, stoned and all alone, Youll see this rising star fade away
