It's a dirty day in L.A.,

a rainy night in New York City

I feel like I'm so far away from

the good things life has to give me



I know I never will be satisfied

but it don't make me worry

If I step, I'll just take my time

and I'm never in a hurry



Star in the dust

But it's gonna shine someday

Star in the dust

I'm gonna be fine yea yea



I'm looking for a woman to hold me

'cuz love ain't just enough to get by

I recall what somebody once told me

they said, "Only the lucky ones will survive."



I know I never will be satisfied

but I'm never going to stop

I'll keep on trying 'til the day

that I'm riding on the top



Star in the dust

But it's gonna shine someday

Star in the dust

I'm gonna be fine yea yea



Alright



When I feel like I'm fallin'

I tell myself, "It's only a stage."

And I hear somebody callin'

they say, "Pick yourself up and start over again."



I know I never will be satisfied

but I'm never going to stop

I'll keep on trying 'til the day

that I'm riding on the top
