Every man has a black star
Oh, a black star over his shoulder
When a man sees his black star
He knows his time, his time has come

Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind-a me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star, black star

When I ride I see my black star
Oh, my black star over my shoulder
When I see my old black star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around

Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star, black star

Black star don't shine on me, black star
Black star keep behind me, black star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Black star, black star
Black star
Black star
