a showman's life

Lyrics

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, there's no mention of all the wear and tear, on an old honky tonker's heart, well i might have 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, there's no mention of all the wear and tear, on an old honky tonker's heart, well i might have known it, but nobody told me about this part, and nobody told me about this part, they told me all about the pretty girls, and the wine and the money and the good times, there's no mention of, all the wear and tear, on an old honky tonker's heart, well i might have known it, but nobody told me about this part, well i might have known it, nobody told me about this part
