Lyrics
VERSE 1
I'm sitting under the stars, i'm staring at saturn, i'm staring at mars, my womans' gone to the bar, she's taken the keys and shes taken the car. I hope she hasnt gone far, she hasn't come home yet she's still at the bar, thats why i'm here sleeping under the stars.
CHORUS
I gotta sleep under the stars tonight
i'm scared of the dark i'm gona die of fright
the cold is taking it's toll and beginning to bight
oh it's coz of you i'm under the stars tonight
oh oh tonight
oh tonight
oh tonight
oh tonight
VERSE 2
The sun's beginning to rise, you havn't come home yet im drying my eyes i didn't sleep last night, my love for you has faded in the morning light, i lost you and i lost my car it's heartbreaking but, i'm starting the first day of my life without you by my side oh
CHORUS
