Circle Of Stars by Carson McKee Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Circle of stars squaring off in Laredo
You’re like an action figure of a cowpoke
Muscles ain’t where they’re supposed to be and boots are clean
Jeans distressed from the factory
Singing Jesse James and the tale of the Pecos Queen
[Verse 2]
Young pioneer, tell me where your railway goes?
Maybe south to El Dorado
Where the streets are paved with gold and no one wants
You take your water from the stream
And feel no need to pan the mud beneath
[Verse 3]
Color me surprised, cover me with roses
I’m already wearing my death mask
Don’t pencil in no smile when I move on
I came crying from the womb
I’ll be damned if I’m not laughing when I’m through
[Bridge]
One more Paloma, partner, springtime's gone
One more budding tulip
Alabaster in the pathway stones
It was a fever dream and we both knew it
[Chorus]
Where’s the high road in your underground?
Where’s the high life in your lowlands?
Keep that Stetson hat the right way ‘round
You may not need it after sundown
Circle of stars squaring off in Laredo
You’re like an action figure of a cowpoke
Muscles ain’t where they’re supposed to be and boots are clean
Jeans distressed from the factory
Singing Jesse James and the tale of the Pecos Queen
[Verse 2]
Young pioneer, tell me where your railway goes?
Maybe south to El Dorado
Where the streets are paved with gold and no one wants
You take your water from the stream
And feel no need to pan the mud beneath
[Verse 3]
Color me surprised, cover me with roses
I’m already wearing my death mask
Don’t pencil in no smile when I move on
I came crying from the womb
I’ll be damned if I’m not laughing when I’m through
[Bridge]
One more Paloma, partner, springtime's gone
One more budding tulip
Alabaster in the pathway stones
It was a fever dream and we both knew it
[Chorus]
Where’s the high road in your underground?
Where’s the high life in your lowlands?
Keep that Stetson hat the right way ‘round
You may not need it after sundown
