You were always different
Had a big dream in your heart
This ole cowtown couldn't hold you down
Once you caught your star
I stood out on the runway
And watched you taxi past
I would have gone anywhere with you
But you never asked
You went from Beaumont to L.A.
And L.A. to the moon
An overnight success
You put a lot of years into
You tell me nothing's different
I'm just a call away from you
But it feels more like the distance
From L.A. to the moon
I would never stop you
I only want to see you fly
But is it wrong to want to see you
Flying home tonight
You know how proud you make me
I could never hold you down
But what I'd give to hold you down here
In this Texas town
You went from Beaumont to L.A.
And L.A. to the moon
An overnight success
You put a lot of years into
You tell me nothing's different
I'm just a call away from you
But it feels more like the distance
From L.A. to the moon
