Built you a castle with busted hands, Worked every daylight on oilfield land. You wore the diamonds, I carried the scars, You took what I gave and reached for the stars. I gave you my paycheck, you spent it in town, I gave you my word, you just tore it down. You wanted a kingdom, I gave what I had, But nothing was ever enough for your plans. That’s my star, burning high and free, Guiding a man where he’s meant to be. No crown, no chains, no kingdom of lies, Just a roughneck soul and a wide-open sky. That’s my star. You played the princess, I played the fool, Worked all my life just to give you the moon. But fairy-tale love don’t live where we are, So I’ll trade your throne for the light of a star. That’s my star, burning high and free, Guiding a man where he’s meant to be. No crown, no chains, no kingdom of lies, Just a roughneck soul and a wide-open sky. That’s my star. Every “I love you” just bounced off the wall, My best was too little, my dreams were too small. You wanted a prince with a castle and car, But I’m just a roughneck who chases the stars. That’s my star, burning high and free, Guiding a man where he’s meant to be. No crown, no chains, no kingdom of lies, Just a roughneck soul and a wide-open sky. That’s my star. So I grabbed my boots and I slammed that door, Keys in the truck, I ain’t taking no more. Ain’t got a map, just the night sky afar, Point the hood northbound — yeah, that’s my star. That’s my star, burning high and free, Guiding a man where he’s meant to be. No crown, no chains, no kingdom of lies, Just a roughneck soul and a wide-open sky. That’s my star. No looking backward, no more regrets, The road is wide open, I ain’t done yet. The night is my compass, freedom my car, And I’ll ride forever — yeah, that’s my star. That’s my star, burning high and free, Guiding a man where he’s meant to be. No crown, no chains, no kingdom of lies, Just a roughneck soul and a wide-open sky. That’s my star. Yeah, that’s my star.
