Star Packers

He said, “Don't do it Baby,
I don't need you that way.
She said, “I've got to go now honey,
Aw, the band is beginning to play.
My manager is front row,
My booking agent too,
Why don't you wait for me outside
And later I'll look for you.” And he said,

Chorus:
“Star Packers
Got to have big backers,
Wall streets and hotel sheets
Trail riders in limousines;
Star Packers
Have got it tattooed on the brain.
Caught up in the game
Of that big time fame.”

He walked out front to find a spot
Where he could watch her sing.
And she strutted her stuff and showed her style
She gave the audience everything.
Well, the crowd started cheering
He tried to make his way back stage,
But there were strangers who blocked the door
To his songbird's cage. And he said,

Chorus:
“Star Packers
Got to have big backers,
Wall streets and hotel sheets
Trail riders in limousines;
Star Packers
Have got it tattooed on the brain.
Caught up in the game
Of that big time fame.”

Bridge:
He stood beneath the big marquee that held her name;
He waited 'til the lights went out, but she never came.
He knew she'd made her choice, they would not meet again,
And as he walked on home alone, he cried out in the wind...

Repeat Chorus.
