Starry eyes I've got to try
   I love you but I love the rock
   And I think you're gonna cry
   And the dawn is coming up
   As I look out on the rain
   But I pick up my guitar
   And do it all again
   Fade away help me play
   It's the feeling I get
   When the music is right
   That makes me feel this way
   You can win or lose it all
   Is what makes you wanna walk the line
   No guarantees you take your chances every time
   Oh I know your love is real
   And I feel the same
   Oh I know it's in my soul
   No one can really free me
   Starry eyes I love the rock
  
   We run around my friends and me
   Telling all the girls we should be free
   Up all night and down all day
   But we only want to play
  
   Starry eyes you're wandering how
   You love a man who loves the rock
   And you can't change it now
   And the midnight telephone
   To say I can't make it home
   It's another night you have to face it all alone
   Oh I know your love is real
   And I feel the same
   I know it's in my soul
   No one can really free me
   Starry eyes I love the rock
  
   Starry eyes I've got to try
   I love you but I love the rock
   And I think you're gonna cry
   And the dawn is coming up
   As I look out on the rain
   But I pick up my guitar
   And do it all again
   Oh I know your love is real
   And I feel the same
   I know it's in my soul
   No one can really free me
   Starry eyes I love the rock
