A Showman's Life

[00:13.85] A showman's life is a smokey bar
[00:21.21] And the fevered chase of a tiny star
[00:28.33] It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
[00:35.91] From what I've seen of a showman's life
[00:41.97] Nobody told me about this part
[00:48.49] They told me all about the pretty girls
[00:54.89] And the wine and the money and the good times
[01:05.30] No mention of all the wear and tear
[01:12.62] On an old honky tonker's heart
[01:19.83] Well, I might have known it
[01:24.28] But nobody told me about this part
[01:34.75] A boy will dream as children do
[01:41.24] Of a great white way 'til the dream comes true
[01:48.60] And a phony smile in a colored light
[01:55.59] Is all that is to the showman's life
[02:01.22] Nobody told me about this part
[02:08.19] They told me all about the pretty girls
[02:15.15] And the wine and the money and the good times
[02:25.92] No mention of all the wear and tear
[02:32.91] On an old honky tonker's heart
[02:40.13] Well, I might have known it
[02:44.19] But nobody told me about this part
[02:52.56]
[03:21.77] Nobody told me about this part
[03:27.85] They told me all about the pretty girls
[03:34.54] And the wine and the money and the good times
[03:45.21] No mention of all the wear and tear
[03:52.95] On an old honky tonker's heart
[03:59.80] Well, I might have known it
[04:04.08] But nobody told me about this part
[04:12.20]
[04:16.16] I might have known it
[04:18.78] But nobody told me about this part
[04:38.04]
