Brent Kirby American Stars Lyrics

Warm summer’s evening
northern lights glimmered
out there floating
silent surface shimmered
we dove head first
and we made our way
came up together
and we weren't the same
firework kisses blew my mind
there ain’t nothing like the very first time
yea it’s so simple
innocence blessed
there ain’t no telling what’ll happen next
drinking high life and smoking on dirty hoods of cars
dreams still unbroken
I fell in love
under American Stars...
There’s a picture on a bookshelf
of my brother in his dress blues
he says there comes a time in life
when a man’s gotta do what he’s gotta do
he threw me his car keys
let’s take her out for a ride
just one last time past them billboard signs in case I don’t come back alive
they gave Ma a triangle blue with red and white bars
said she’s proud she got family way up high
in those American Stars...
Every morning we wake up,
got a new chance to make it
something new, something true
we can’t take it for granted
it’s just the way it should be
they can’t take that from me
these hard lessons are learned and we earned to keep it
and believe it
as I stand in this doorway
staring down setting sky
If i just take all my chances
everything will be all right
making memories from nothing inside these smoky bars
I got faith, yea I still believe
in American Stars...
