You were always different   Had a big dream in your heart   This ole cowtown couldn't hold you down   Once you caught your star   I stood out on the runway   And watched you taxi past   I would have gone anywhere with you   But you never asked      You went from Beaumont to L.A.   And L.A. to the moon   An overnight success   You put a lot of years into   You tell me nothing's different   I'm just a call away from you   But it feels more like the distance   From L.A. to the moon      I would never stop you   I only want to see you fly   But is it wrong to want to see you   Flying home tonight   You know how proud you make me   I could never hold you down   But what I'd give to hold you down here   In this Texas town      You went from Beaumont to L.A.   And L.A. to the moon   An overnight success   You put a lot of years into   You tell me nothing's different   I'm just a call away from you   But it feels more like the distance   From L.A. to the moon
