Every man has a black star

A black star over his shoulder

And when a man sees his black star

He knows his time, his time has come



Black star don't shine on me, black star

Black star keep behind me, black star

There's a lot of livin' I gotta do

Give me time to make a few dreams come true

Black star



When I ride I feel that black star

That black star over my shoulder

So I ride in front of that black star

Never lookin' around, never lookin' around



Black star don't shine on me, black star

Black star keep behind me, black star

There's a lot of livin' I gotta do

Give me time to make a few dreams come true

Black star



One fine day I'll see that black star

That black star over my shoulder

And when I see that old black star

I'll know my time, my time has come



Black star don't shine on me, black star

Black star keep behind me, black star

There's a lot of livin' I gotta do

Give me time to make a few dreams come true

Black star
