LYRICS

Every man has a flaming star

A flaming star over his shoulder

And when a man sees his flaming star

He knows his time, his time has come

Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star

Flaming, keep behind me, flaming star

There's a lot of livin' I gotta do

Give me time to make a few dreams come true

Flaming star

When I ride I feel that flaming star

That flaming star over my shoulder

And so I ride in front of that flaming star

Never lookin' around, never lookin' around

Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star

Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star

There's a lot of livin' I gotta do

Give me time to make a few dreams come true

Flaming star

One fine day I'll see that flaming star

That flaming star over my shoulder

And when I see that old flaming star

I'll know my time, my time has come

Flaming star, don't shine on me, flaming star

Flaming star, keep behind me, flaming star

There's a lot of livin' I gotta do

Give me time to make a few dreams come true

Flaming star
