[Verse 1] A showmans life is a smokey bar And the fevered chase of a tiny star Its a hotel room and a lonely wife From what Ive seen of a showmans life [Chorus] Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine Woah, the money and the good times No mention of all the wear and tear On an old honkytonkers heart Well, I might have known it Nobody told me about this part [Verse 2] A boy will dream as children do Of a great white way til the dream comes true A phony smile in a colored light Theres all it is to a showmans life [Chorus] Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine Oh, the money and the good times No mention of all the wear and tear On an old honkytonkers heart Well, I might have known it Nobody told me about this part [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine Oh, the money and the good times No mention of all the wear and tear On an old honkytonkers heart Well, I might have known it Woah, nobody told me about this part [Outro] Well, I might have known it Nobody told me about this part
told, honkytonkers, showman, part, nobody
