Story behind the song
I wrote this for my dad who was the most inspirational man I ever met
Lyrics
FOLLOW YOUR STAR VERSE 1 He stood five foot three, weighed a hundred pounds soaking wet But my Daddy was a giant of a man in every other respect He worked hard every day to give his family What he’d never had himself We had a lot of what mattered Didn’t matter that we never had wealth VERSE 2 Daddy worked on the railway a hard 12 hours a day At night he’d go out singing to boost his pay He had the voice of an angel and some of his songs Were known to make grown men cry But the one I liked best Was Daddy’s own take on life CHORUS 1 (he sang) Follow your star Be who you are Don’t sell yourself short, know what you’re worth Keep the dream in your heart Don’t you accept what you know’s second best Put up a fight For what you know’s right Follow your star VERSE 3 Now Daddy’s long gone and I sure miss him still Never met another man like him and I never will I keep him close to my heart and mind And I talk to him every day When I wonder about where I’m goin’ I can hear him say CHORUS 2 Follow your star Be who you are Don’t sell yourself short, know what you’re worth Keep the dream in your heart Don’t you accept what you know’s second best Put up a fight For what you know’s right Follow your star
