Chris Ledoux - Country star 1980
(Chris Lee LeDoux October 2, 1948 - March 9, 2005)
She opened up the letter
from Nashville Tennessee
He said hon they like my music
the songs I wrote for you and me
The boys and me just cut a record
and it could hit the charts before too long
So it's gonna be a while
till I can come back home
She said hon I hear your record
oh they play it everyday
And everybody really likes it
so I guess your on your way
But darling please remember
we all need you here at home
And the kids all miss their daddy
so don't be gone too long
Yes I know that your a country star
and everybody knows your name
And I know you love those bright lights
when you step on stage to sing
Just remember we all love you
and don't get blinded by the light
We'll just keep the homefires burnin'
while you're gone
You know we pray for you each night
After six long months of goin'
I guess the road just finally took its toll
Cause his songs has lost all meaning
and he felt so all alone
Then one night in Jackson
he went out on stage to play
And the crowd stared at disbelief
at the words he had to say
I don't want to be a country star
it ain't the way I thought it'd be
Well it took me such a long time to know
that it ain't the life for me
Cause the days can get so lonely
and the nights can get so long
Lord I think it's about time
this country star went home

Absolutely perfect singing voice! Nashville should be ashamed they didn't play him more often. True Country Star, True Rodeo Star, TRUE COWBOY! RIP Chris, Hope you're still playing songs in heaven!

Rest in peace. You were the reason I picked up a guitar ( the second time around) and the reason I got into the rodeo.
God Bless Chris Ledoux
