Intro 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
