Every man has a black star
  A black star over his shoulder
  And 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 me, black star
  There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
  Give me time to make a few dreams come true
  Black star
    When I ride I feel that black star
  That black star over my shoulder
  So I ride in front of that 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
    One fine day I'll see that black star
  That black star over my shoulder
  And when I see that old black star
  I'll know my time, my time has come
    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
