Wandering Star Lyrics

the bands are done i should go home
all my friends left a long time ago
the girl serving drinks is the only one i know
i got no good place to go

it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
on the city streets i call my home
it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
i follow it 'till i am gone

the streetlights fade and dissappear
i can see the stars that are out here
cross the bridge to the country roads
i'll follow that star wherever it goes

it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
on the city streets i call my home
it's a wandering star that lights my way tonight
i follow it 'till i am gone

then i wander wherever it might roam
the luckiest star to call my own
and i wander 'till my hearts taken to rest
and my star falls from the sky
'cause falling stars are best

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song anyway...it's one of my favorites. But what I think about most is that I once sang it to John, the bass player, for Lucero. I hadn't intended to and I wasn't trying to audition. It was just after my first Lucero show and John asked me what I was going to be doing and I quoted the song...because it was very much true and fitting. The song means more to me than that, but that's what comes to mind.
