If you never rode west of the Arizona border You can turn the other way, boy, but you never get far You'll be living a lie If you want to see the wonders of the age You must follow the evening star Evening star Shine a little heaven on a stranger with no dream Where you are You can see the loneliness I mean And if I gotta fight, I can never play somebody else's game I can follow the evening star Like you never need somebody else's name If you follow the evening star Have you ever known a sunset When the sky's on fire How you end another day, boy You'll be searching too far Like the desert I rode on Any memory is lost in the restless wind I just lie beneath the evening star Evening star Shine a little heaven on a stranger with no dream Where you are You can see the loneliness I mean And if I gotta fight, I can never play somebody else's game I can follow the evening star Like you never need somebody else's name If you follow the evening star Have you ever held a woman In the California moonlight Put your money on a good night If you've never been there It's a sight for sore eyes If you want to see the wonders of the age Making a love beneath the evening star Evening star Shine a little heaven on a stranger with no dream Where you are You can see the loneliness I mean And if I gotta fight, I can never play somebody else's game I can follow the evening star Like you never need somebody else's name If you follow the evening star Like you never need somebody else's name If you follow the evening star Like you never need somebody else's name If you follow the evening star Like you never need somebody else's name
