Lyrics

bright lighs and promises, a pocket full of dreams, that's what they pay me to be, gold lame' and diamonds, i am a hometown queen, honey, would sing it just for me?, when i was good, and when i was bad, i never thought i'd end up this way, with no dreams to hide me, bright lights to guide me, how long does it take to make the grade?, everywhere i hear, a ringing in my ear, drummer, let the music play, give me small town blues, make it loud, make it do, listen to the music sway, barrails and cocktails, have you got a light?, ain't that what it pays to keep in site?, over used and much abused, promises of delight, honey, would you care to spend the night?, take a little time, some memories and wine, loosen up the sucker by the bar, and if he wants to hold you, if he wants to know, honey, that's what your here for, until all i see, is them reaching out for me, drummer, play that ol' time melody, bright lights and promises, that's all it's for, leave and enter by the service door, now, i'm gold lame' and diamonds, even if my gold is worn, honey, can you show me more?
