A Showman's Life Songtext
Songtext powered by LyricFind
(Jesse Winchester)
A showman's life is a smokey bar
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 wine
The money and good times
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, 'til the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all it is to a showman's life
No mention of the wear and tear on an old honkey-tonker's heart
A showman's life is a smokey bar
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 wine
The money and good times
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, 'til the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all it is to a showman's life
