City Lights cloak the sky or I’d wish upon a star tonight
There ain’t no clear end in sight
But somewhere else under that same sky someone else is wondering why
The stars are out but they can’t see them shine
Oh that’s life, oh that’s life with a slice of humble pie-2/4 Bar.
(G Asus4 D D/C# Bm7 Bm7/A E7 Cadd9 G/B Asus4-D)
When I fall down I get back up
You take my fear away
Yea, it was hard to get here,
but you make it easy to stay.
City boy livin’ in exile, Small town’s sweeter by a country mile
I can finally see those stars clear in the sky
Now I know they were always there, our lucky stars are everywhere
Just open up your eyes, and you’ll see them shine
This new life, This new life, I’m so alive
When I fall down I get back up
You take my fear away
Yea, it was hard to get here,
but you make it easy to stay.
For all the blessings in our lives, we can thank our sacrifice
The stars above can help you navigate, but look inside for the brightest guiding light

This city boy got his country girl, living in their perfect world
And there’s a place out there for everyone..
It’s your life, it’s your life. This is your time-Pause 2/4 Bar
