And the fevered chase of a tiny star
It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
From what I've seen of a showman's life
Nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine
And the money and the good times
No mention of all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well, I might've known it
But nobody told me about this part
A boy will dream as children do
Of a great white way until the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all there is to a showman's life
Nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine
And the money and the good times
No mention of all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well, I might've known it
But nobody told me about this part
Nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine
And the money and the good times
No mention of all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well, I might've known it
But nobody told me about this part
Well, I might've known it
But nobody told me about this part
A showman's life is a smokey bar And the fevered chase of a tiny star It's a hotel room and a lonely wife From what I've seen of a showman's life Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine And the money and the good times No mention of all the wear and tear On an old honky tonker's heart Well, I might've known it But nobody told me about this part A boy will dream as children do Of a great white way until the dream comes true And a phony smile in a colored light Is all there is to a showman's life Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine And the money and the good times No mention of all the wear and tear On an old honky tonker's heart Well, I might've known it But nobody told me about this part Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine And the money and the good times No mention of all the wear and tear On an old honky tonker's heart Well, I might've known it But nobody told me about this part Well, I might've known it But nobody told me about this part Explain Request ×
