When we go walking in the moonlight, I always see five stars
She came out here from Kansas to check out the local scene
She got a job as a freelance writer for a music magazine
Now she gets all the latest releases before they’re even in the store
And she’s on the guest list at all the clubs, so they wave her right through the door
I met her down at the Kendall Cafe, we talked about our favorite bands
By the time we got to Commander Cody the two of us were holding hands
And it wasn’t long before she gave me much more than a flattering quote
Now I’m a critic’s darling and I don’t have to play a note
I’m a critic’s darling, sounds crazy but it’s true
She’s tellin’ her friends that I’m the one, and that’s a pretty good review
Yeah, I’m a critic’s darling, in the bookstores and the bars
When we go walking in the moonlight, I always see five stars
When the day is done and we’re takin’ it easy, she finds some music that fits
She may not have the boxed set, but she’s got the greatest hits
She’d slap me if she heard that line and say, ???You’re such a clever man???
But I don’t mind a little criticism, I know she’s my biggest fan
I’m a critic’s darling, sounds crazy but it’s true
She’s tellin’ her friends that I’m the one, and that’s a pretty good review
Yeah, I’m a critic’s darling, in the bookstores and the bars
When we go walking in the moonlight, I always see five stars
Always see five stars
Always see five stars
