Standin' on the star of Marilyn Monroe I've got a dream and a map of some stars homes Down on the Boulevard all the kids look like me Faith in my pocket and my Saturdays free No time for all my insecurities But nobody knows The fight inside I'll never show [CHORUS:] I've got a backpack filled with what I own Everybody's watin' for me to come home She didn't make it, she didn't take it so far On Avenue of the stars
I made a deal with God that I will win If I don't make it in a year I'll pack it in I just wanna be anywhere but where I've been With all of your doubts I'm not gonna let you count me out
I've got a backpack filled with what I own Everybody's waitin' for me to come home She didn't make it, she didn't take it so far I've got nobody but I'm not alone World full of dreamers that will never go home We may not make it, we're gonna take it so far On Avenue of the stars
There is no way I'm backin' out I'll find an angel here somehow If it's good or bad, this is my town I'n never gonna go home Never gonna go home She didn't make it, she didn't take it so far On Avenue of the stars I've got nobody but I'm not alone World full of dreamers that will never go home We may not make it, we're gonna take it so far On avenue of the stars On the Avenue of the stars
What nobody knows I'm gonna take it so far She's gonna make it She's never gonna make it World full of dreamers that will never go home I'm gonna make it here on my own She didnt make it I've got a dream and a map of some stars homes.
