Cashman - My Starman
.................................................A
MAN
THE MAN
AN AMERICAN HERO
A TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC HERO
WORE BLACK FOR THE BEATEN DOWN ON THE POOR SIDE OF TOWN
WITH A RING OF FIRE AND A POCKET OF PILLS
A LIFE OF ROCK & ROLL AND THRILLS
WALKED THE LINE FOR ALL TO SEE
SOMETIMES SO IMPERFECTLY
JOHNNY,TO YOU LET US NOW APPLAUD
FOUGHT YOUR ILLS AND TURNED TO GOD
A VOICE LIKE GRAVEL AND THUNDER COMBINED
THE MAN IN BLACK'S GONE! BUT JOHNNY!......YOU WERE SO REFINED
SO THIS STAR I WILL PIN ON YOU
YOUR"RE MY SHERIFF
AND MY HERO
MISSING
U
