When I'm up through the night I can't turn down the noise, tear all the worries Out of my mind 'Bout who I'm supposed to be, I start to believe I can't get it right Remember the days I let slip away? They were simpler times Momma told me, "Before you leave If there's only one thing you remember from me" Child, when you're out on your own A million miles from home Feeling the weight of the world On your shoulders Child, don't forget who you are Don't lose your head or your heart I'll bet my life on your stars You'll be dancing Dancing on the moon, I bet my life You'll be dancing on the moon, I bet my life You'll be dancing on the moon, I bet my life You'll be dancing on the moon Dancing on the moon Dancing on the moon Maybe my compass was wrong And I'm still on my way Closer each day to where I belong I'm still rolling the dice, praying sometimes It don't last that long I'm losing my faith, I'm walking away From what you knew all along Momma told me, "Before you leave If there's only one thing you remember from me" Child, when you're out on your own A million miles from home Feeling the weight of the world On your shoulders Child, don't forget who you are Don't lose your head or your heart I'll bet my life on your stars You'll be dancing Dancing on the moon (I bet my life) You'll be dancing on the moon (I bet my life) You'll be dancing on the moon (I bet my life) You'll be dancing on the- (I bet my life) Dancing on the moon Dancing on the moon Child, when you're out on your own A million miles from home Feeling the weight of the world On your shoulders Child, don't forget who you are Don't lose your head or your heart I'll bet my life on your stars You'll be dancing Dancing on the moon
