Writing Songs For Stars

Another country song from John and Amigos Imaginarios. I write all the lyrics for the band, they do the rest.

Writing Songs for Stars
2023©John Schofield

Still weary from a day shift
That felt eight hours too long
He’s sitting in his kitchen
Working on another song

Strummin’ on his old six string
He finds some chords that fit
He sings the words he’s written
Maybe this will be the hit

He dreams of writing songs for stars
The ones who sit atop the charts
For now he plays for tips in bars
But knows one day he’ll get his start
Then he’ll be writing songs for stars
Writing songs for stars

Finally, he gets the call
He can’t believe he made it
So many years of trying
Keeping faith with what he did

He dreams of writing songs for stars
The ones who sit atop the charts
For now he plays for tips in bars
But knows one day he’ll get his start
Then he’ll be writing songs for stars
Writing songs for stars
