Standing on the star of Marilyn Monroe
I’ve got a dream and a map of some star’s 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

What nobody knows
The fight inside I’ll never show

(CHORUS)
I’ve got a backpack filled with what I own
Everybody’s waiting 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’d pack it in
I just want to be anywhere but where I’ve been

With all of your doubts
I’m not gonna let you count me out

(CHORUS)
I’ve got a backpack filled with what I own
Everybody’s waiting for me to come home
She didn’t make it, she didn’t take it so far

I got nobody but I’m not alone
A 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 backing out
I’ll find an angel here somehow
If it’s good or bad this is my town

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 got nobody but I’m not alone
There’s a world 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
