Bright Lights And The Fame

You struck me as the kind of man

I'd love and lose alone

A ramblin' man with a beat-up plan

Dreams of hitting gold

But you stole me heart playing your guitar

You sang me to my vows

So when you said you were settling in

I didn't listen my doubts

Cause the honky-tonks and the cowboy songs

Will always call your name

No, you'll never love anything as much

As bright lights and the fame

So it was good at first

You found some steady work

You were happy as can be

But as the babies grew

I saw us tire you

The simple life left you in need

I would cook and clean

I tried everything

To keep you as my own

But from the start

I should I have listened to my heart

Cause I could never keep you home

Cause the honky-tonks and the cowboy songs

Will always call your name

No, you'll never love anything as much

As bright lights and the fame

So it was good at first

You found some steady work

You were happy as can be

But as the babies grew

I saw us tire you

The simple life left you in need

So and it came

The day you went away

I didn't shed a tear

Instead I kissed your lips

And told my heart to quit

Holding on just out of fear

It ain't you and me

You were meant to be

On the highway all alone

Singing songs about

The woman that you lost

All for nothing but the road

Cause the honky-tonks and the cowboy songs

Will always call your name

No, you'll never love anything as much

As bright lights and the fame

So it was good at first

You found some steady work

You were happy as can be

But as the babies grew

I saw us tire you

The simple life left you in need

Cause the honky-tonks and the cowboy songs

Will always call your name

No, you'll never love anything as much

As bright lights and the fame

So it was good at first

You found some steady work

You were happy as can be

But as the babies grew

I saw us tire you

The simple life left you in need

Oh, you'll never love anything as much

As bright lights and the fame
