Child of the Backstreets

Starlight Road

Starlight Road

Chris Hayers

Someone’s robbed the liquor store
There’s a body on the floor
Hard-earned money don’t run this town no more
The rich get richer and the working man stays poor

There’s my momma on the phone
Tell the cops my daddy’s home
Oh no momma don’t tell those lies no more
Oh no momma don’t tell those lies no more

Lost and lonely in the dark and cold
Ain’t no mercy on Starlight Road

There’s the sheriff with his gun
Now my daddy’s on the run
Run run daddy run don’t let them put you in jail
Run run daddy run don’t let them put you in jail

Lost and lonely in the dark and cold
Ain’t no mercy on Starlight Road
