Chris Ledoux - Country star 1980 <br /> <br />(Chris Lee LeDoux October 2, 1948–March 9, 2005) <br /> <br />She opened up the letter <br />from Nashville Tennessee <br />He said hon they like my music <br />the songs I wrote for you and me <br /> <br />The boys and me just cut a record <br />and it could hit the charts before too long <br />So it's gonna be a while <br />till I can come back home <br /> <br />She said hon I hear your record <br />oh they play it everyday <br />And everybody really likes it <br />so I guess your on your way <br /> <br />But darling please remember <br />we all need you here at home <br />And the kids all miss their daddy <br />so don't be gone too long <br /> <br />Yes I know that your a country star <br />and everybody knows your name <br />And I know you love those bright lights <br />when you step on stage to sing <br /> <br />Just remember we all love you <br />and don't get blinded by the light <br />We'll just keep the homefires burnin' <br />while you're gone <br />You know we pray for you each night <br /> <br />After six long months of goin' <br />I guess the road just finally took its toll <br />Cause his songs has lost all meaning <br />and he felt so all alone <br /> <br />Then one night in Jackson <br />he went out on stage to play <br />And the crowd stared at disbelief <br />at the words he had to say <br /> <br />I don't want to be a country star <br />it ain't the way I thought it'd be <br />Well it took me such a long time to know <br />that it ain't the life for me <br /> <br />Cause the days can get so lonely <br />and the nights can get so long <br />Lord I think it's about time <br />this country star went home
