Lyrics
A Showman's Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A showman's life
Is a smoky 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 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 tonkers heart
Well, I might've known it
But nobody told me
About this part
A boy will dream
As children do
Of a great wight way
Until the dream comes true
And a phony smile
And 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 time
And no mention of
All the wear and tear
On a lone honky tonkers 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 the wear and tear
On a lone honky tonkers 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
