You were always different

Had a big dream in your heart

This ole cowtown couldn't hold you down

Once you caught your star

I stood out on the runway

And watched you taxi past

I would have gone anywhere with you

But you never asked



You went from Beaumont to L.A.

And L.A. to the moon

An overnight success

You put a lot of years into

You tell me nothing's different

I'm just a call away from you

But it feels more like the distance

From L.A. to the moon



I would never stop you

I only want to see you fly

But is it wrong to want to see you

Flying home tonight

You know how proud you make me

I could never hold you down

But what I'd give to hold you down here

In this Texas town



You went from Beaumont to L.A.

And L.A. to the moon

An overnight success

You put a lot of years into

You tell me nothing's different

I'm just a call away from you

But it feels more like the distance

From L.A. to the moon
