Songtext Southern star Billy Gilman

Southern star

I see her climbing my fence
She's throwing stones up at my window
She loves the midnight hour
She wants to play and that's all I need to know
I opened the door to the back porch
Barefoot on the cold floor
Didn't know where she was coming from
But that's what I'm goin' for

[Chorus]
And it seems like the sun never goes down
When the daylight fades on this side of town
And we're dancin' around
Under the southern stars
And it feels like there's nothin' but wide open sky
When you're spreadin' your wings and learning to fly
And you get so high you can't forget where you are
I can't come down
I've gone too far
Wishing on a southern star

We take the long way home
That's where you find your dreams come true
Lying under the falling leaves
That's when you change your point of view
I fell in love that summer
And I tried to tell her
But just try to catch an eagle
Like you could ever

[Chorus]
[Chorus Outro]

Yeah, it seems like the sun never goes down
When the daylight fades on this side of town
And we're dancin' around under the southern stars
I can't come down, I've gone too far
I'm wishin' on my southern star
