lyrics

On the dusty edge of Wanblee, she was thumbing for a ride
She cocked her head and said name was Starlight
I taught her how to drive a rig and she gave me this guitar
She was like a dream to me - Starlight
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had

She left me in the desert, snake-bit and fixed to die
I watched her drive off in the heat - Starlight
I traded all I had for an old Buick and a gun
I searched every interstate for Starlight
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had

One day way up in Koochiching, full of whiskey and despair
I heard a voice on the frequency - Starlight
My head was suddenly filled with all the devils and their doom
I gripped the wheel and spat her name - Starlight
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had

I found her at a motel, I yanked open the door
But she had the drop on me - Starlight
Shotgun at her shoulder, she winked and said "goodbye"
Left me dying in the snow - Starlight.
Starlight, Starlight
She walked on every dream I ever had
