It was a shotgun wedding on Nevada Strip
We had a Chevy Rondine we took a desert trip
Roadhouse movie style in '69
Yeah a soul like yours is so hard to find
If you want to feel the wind rushing through your hair
If you want to leave your lovers crying in despair
If you want to see seduction in a stranger's stare
Then you've got to know the devil may care
Before I met you you, know I couldn't think why
I felt like a man that was walking blind
And you put the future back into my eyes
A heart like yours is so hard to find
If you want to feel the wind rushing through your hair
If you want to leave your lovers crying in despair
If you want to see seduction in a stranger's stare
Then you've got to know the devil may care
It's hard for me
When I think what it could have been
But the distance was too far
I couldn't believe
I was too cynical
For fairytale endings
And wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
Could see the shimmering heat on the horizon blue
You put your hand into mine
I'd build a life with you
The cactus were the dancers at the Valentine's ball
Right about then I thought I had it all
If your heart is catching fire like all the bridges you've burned
If you've squandered every penny of the money you've earned
And if you've acted like a fool but then you don't seem concerned
So much for the lessons you learned
It's hard for me
When I think what it could have been
But the distance was too far
I couldn't believe
I was too cynical
For fairytale endings
And wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
Wishing on stars
