Stars with Forgotten Names

lyrics by: Britton Newton

The farmer is outside in his field

He’s counting his stars, and he’s naming them

With his hands folded shut in his rocker,

I believe he’s forgotten his map

The farmer is outside in his field again

He’s counting his stars with forgotten names

These poor city kids like to tease him

What is it now that they’ve done?

Keep your hands down

Fall down the stairwell of dreams fallen short of a life

Keep your hands down

Lose what you can, while you still have the time

Everyone’s got a familiar face

But, no one remembers the names

Of friends who were cold in the winter

Or the lovers who fall out of the sack

Keep your hands down

Fall down the stairwell of dreams fallen short of a life

Keep your hands down

Lose what you can, while you still have the time

Every boy needs a pony

Every man needs a gun

To fight a war over nothing

To fight a war over his dreams

Get your guns, get your guns
