'Cause when the call of Hollywood comes You know it's time To come home to where you know That you've grown
Took her to the church Put a ring around her neck Like they did when they were kids Just a dot on the map, but there he was Ghost of a movie star Road pointing home
On the lonely stretch before you forget What it was That brought you here and takes you Near to your fate, don't wait
He buried something in this, wonderful From castles in Spain where she came It's for the people that you miss The girls and boys that you'll never kiss
It's for what went wrong It's for what went right It's for what went wrong It's for what went right

Still believin' in you Still believin' in you Still believin' in you
