Chris Ledoux - (i Don't Want To Be A) Country Star lyrics

She opened up the letter from Nashville Tennessee He said hon they like my music the songs I wrote for you and me The boys and me just cut a record and it could hit the charts before too long So it's gonna be a while till I can come back home Yes I'm gonna be a country star and everyone will know my name Oh you know I love those bright lights when I step on stage to sing I'll be travlin' round the country with a big bus and a band So just keep the homefires burnin' while I'm gone And I'll get home when I can She said hon I hear your record oh they play it everyday And everybody really likes it so I guess your on your way But darling please remember we all need you here at home And the kids all miss their daddy so don't be gone too long Yes I know that your a country star and everybody knows your name And I know you love those bright lights when you step on stage to sing Just remember we all love you and don't get blinded by the light We'll just keep the homefires burnin' while you're gone You know we pray for you each night After six long months of goin' I guess the road just finally took its toll Cause his songs has lost all meaning and he felt so all alone Then one night in Jackson he went out on stage to play And the crowd stared at disbelief at the words he had to say I don't want to be a country star it ain't the way I thought it'd be Well it took me such a long time to know that it ain't the life for me Cause the days can get so lonely and the nights can get so long Lord I think it's about time this country star went home Yes I think that it's about time this country boy went home
