Standing on the star of Marilyn Monroe 
I’ve got a dream and a map of some star’s homes 
Down on the boulevard 
All the kids look like me 
Faith in my pocket and my Saturdays free 
No time for all my insecurities 

What nobody knows 
The fight inside I’ll never show 

(CHORUS) 
I’ve got a backpack filled with what I own 
Everybody’s waiting for me to come home 
She didn’t make it, she didn’t take it so far 
On avenue of the stars 

I made a deal with God that I will win 
If I don’t make it in a year I’d pack it in 
I just want to be anywhere but where I’ve been 

With all of your doubts 
I’m not gonna let you count me out 

(CHORUS) 
I’ve got a backpack filled with what I own 
Everybody’s waiting for me to come home 
She didn’t make it, she didn’t take it so far 

I got nobody but I’m not alone 
A world full of dreamers that will never go home 
We may not make it, we’re gonna take it so far 
On avenue of the stars 

There is no way I’m backing out 
I’ll find an angel here somehow 
If it’s good or bad this is my town 

Never gonna go home 
Never gonna go home 

She didn’t make it, she didn’t take it so far 
On avenue of the stars 

I got nobody but I’m not alone 
There’s a world of dreamers that will never go home 
We may not make it, we’re gonna take it so far 
On avenue of the stars 
On the avenue of the stars
