If you never rode West of, the Arizona border
You can turn the other way, boy, but you never get far
You be living a lie, if you wanna see the wonders of the age
You must follow, the evening star
Evening star, shine a little Heaven on a stranger with no dream
Where you are, you can see the loneliness, I mean
And if I gotta fight, I can never play, somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star, starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star

Have you ever known a sunset, when the sky's on fire
How you end another day, boy, you be searching too far
Like the desert I rode on, any memory is lost in the restless wind
I just lie beneath, the evening star
Evening star, shine a little Heaven on a stranger with no dream
Where you are, you can see the loneliness, I mean
And if I gotta fight, I can never play, somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star, starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star

Have you ever held a woman, in the California moonlight
Put your money on a good night, if you never been there
It's a sight for sore eyes, if you wanna see the wonders of the age
Making love beneath, the evening star
Evening star, shine a little Heaven on a stranger with no dream
Where you are, you can see the loneliness, I mean
And if I gotta fight, I can never play, somebody else's game
I can follow the evening star, starlight, you never need somebody else's name
If you follow the evening star
