Every man has a flaming star
A flaming star over his shoulder
And when a man sees his flaming star
He knows his time, his time has come


* Flaming star don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
Flaming star (Flaming star)


When I ride I feel that flaming star
That flaming star over my shoulder
And so I ride in front of that flaming star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around


* Repeat


One fine day I'll see that flaming star
That flaming star over my shoulder
And when I see that old flaming star
I'll know my time, my time has come


Flaming star don't shine on me, flaming star
Flaming star keep behind me, flaming star
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
(Flaming star)
