Verse
I saw Cinderella / on Heartache and Vine
She sang a capella / and turned dollars into wine
Through the crowd I heard the melody / "Mississippi, Your On My Mind".
And though no one noticed / I saw a tear fall from her eye
Chorus
She's like a star that fell down / on the wrong side of town
But to me she shines / more than all these city lights
Back in Tupelo tonight / something's missing in the sky
Must be a star / That fell down
Verse
I took her picture standing / outside the Hollywood Bowl
She believes that one day / they'll come here to see her show
She waded in the fountain / among the wishes others threw in
She didn't have a penny / so I tossed one in
She's like a star that fell down / on the wrong side of town
But to me she shines / more than all these city lights
Back in Tupelo tonight / something's missing in the sky
Must be a star / That fell down
Verse
In the City of Angels / big dreams die hard
Back home they don't know / she's been sleeping in her car
She parks it by a payphone / she gave the number to a friend of a friend
She's waiting on a ship that / ain't ever coming in
She's like a star that fell down / on the wrong side of town
But to me she shines / more than all these city lights
Back in Tupelo tonight / something's missing in the sky
Must be a star / That fell down
Must be a star / That fell down
