Out on the porch the night is wearin' thin
Old wooden chair I'm settlin' in
The echoes of your footsteps fade away
Under the moon I watch our love decay
But I've got stars and guitars
Dusty roads in my rearview bars
Each strum's a memory bittersweet
Playin' out the tune where our hearts beat
When you're gone and dreams fall apart
I find my way with stars and guitars
The chords cry out like the howlin' wind
Each note a whisper of what might've been
Your laughter's a ghost in the summer air
Lost in the strings I find you there
'Cause I've got stars and guitars
Dusty roads in my rearview bars
Each strum's a memory bittersweet
Playin' out the tune where our hearts beat
When you're gone and dreams fall apart
I find my way with stars and guitars
Sorrow and regret like the river flows
Where it takes me next only the night knows
But these old strings and a sky full of light
Guide me through the shadows of this endless night
Yeah I've got stars and guitars
Dusty roads in my rearview bars
Each strum's a memory bittersweet
Playin' out the tune where our hearts beat
When you're gone and dreams fall apart
I find my way with stars and guitars
So I'll play on under these bright stars
Lost and found in the sound of guitars
Though you're gone in this song you remain
A melody in the chords of my refrain
