A hundred dollars guaranteed, and three or four free beers
Ain't enough to pay the rent, I know
Everybody's drinking, they don't even know I'm here
Sarah smiles and she just sings along
And I'll close it on down when they call that last round
And she'll tell me"I can't wait for your next show"
And I don't know what she hears when I play guitar
But in her eyes, I'm the brightest star
I feel like a songbird trying to fly on a broken wing
But I get off the ground, cus Sarah loves to hear me sing
These Fort Worth neon lights shine bright to a desperate man
She walks in and those lights fade to black
There's no one else on Earth that makes me believe the way she can
It's her light that keeps me on the path
I stumble and doubt when these things don't work out
But she's the one who always brings me back
And I don't know what she hears when I play guitar
But in her eyes, I'm the brightest star
I feel like a songbird trying to fly on a broken wing
But I get off the ground, cus Sarah loves to hear me sing
A hundred dollars guaranteed, and three or four free beers
Ain't enough to pay the rent, I know
If she weren't singing every word and smiling ear to ear
I'd have hung this guitar up long ago
And I don't know what she hears when I play guitar
But in her eyes, I'm the brightest star
When my head can't find the words and my fingers lose the strings
I'll just think of her smile, cus Sarah loves to hear me sing
I'll just thing of her smile, cus Sarah loves to hear me sing
