He packs his bags, and sets off to a new place
He didn't know it'd feel like this
He looks behind him, parents in the rear view
Mama is blowing a kiss
He's been here since a little kid, and he never ever will forget
The way this town has made him who he is today
So hold on to this moment in your life
But go on, and enjoy the ride
It's not like you intended you would stay forever
And life is always better when you follow your heart
So congratulations, you're a star
Another ten years, another destination
Another lover is lost
On top of heart ache the third floor got laid off
And you just lost your job
Oh changes come and go you know
You can't have highs without the lows
Life isn't always like Jack & Diane
Oh and gotta get up my friend, you gotta move on and be a man
Get back on that horse and ride again
So hold on to this moment in your life
But go on, and enjoy the ride
It's not like you intended you would stay forever
And life is always better when you follow your heart
So congratulations
Everybody knows that your gonna make it far
And everybody knows that your gonna have a scar to show
And everybody knows that your voice will be heard
And everybody knows that there's lessons to be learned to show
When to
Hold on to this moment in your life
But go on, and enjoy the ride
It's not like you intended you would stay forever
And life is always better when you follow your heart
So congratulations, you're a star
