Chris Stapleton- When the Stars Come Out with lyrics

What have the artists said about the song? I was in LA to write some songs with Dan Wilson. The night before we wrote I was looking up at the sky from my hotel room and noticing how the city lights drown out the stars. I decided to take a walk down the street and find something to eat. As I walked, I noticed everyone looked like “somebody.” They all looked famous. They all looked like stars. I began to toy with the notion that maybe all of the LA stars are walking around. And perhaps some nights, they shine brighter than the city lights. That was the thought I brought to Dan the next morning. [Verse 1] I was looking for a change of scene You were looking at a magazine It was red carpets and limousines And the grass seemed so much greener All we wanted was to get there fast So we packed up everything we had Running on hope and a tank of gas Like dreams ain’t just for dreamers We couldn’t wait to leave that life behind Trying to find salvation in that city limit sign [Chorus] And one of those LA nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out and shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out [Verse 2] Everybody’s somebody, someday Everybody’s got a part to play Everybody’s trying to find a way To say what needs saying Everybody’s got a friend of a friend Somebody that can get you in Begging angels for a sin In a game that we’re all playing You and I, we’re gamblers holding cards that we can’t see And I’m betting on you, you’re betting on me [Chorus] And one of those LA nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out and shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out [Bridge] Down on the freeway, the sun is out of sight And I got a feeling tonight might be the night Yeah, tonight might be the night [Chorus] And one of those LA nights When the stars come out Oh, the stars come out and shine And they burn so bright They drown the downtown lights When the stars come out Oh, when the stars come out When the stars come out, ohh When the stars come out _ This is an acoustic version of the song performed with Morgane , Chris´s wife , I love very much : https://youtu.be/YcHL0kUFPhw
