And if he wants to hold you
When I was good, then I was bad
Honey, that's what you're here for
Everywhere I hear a ringing in my ears
Drummer, let the music play
Take a little time, some memories and wine
Leave and enter by the service door
Drummer, play that old time melody
Listen to the music sway
Bright lights and promises, that's all it's for
Until all I see
Even if my gold is worn
If he wants to know you
How long does it take to make the grade?
Loosen up the sucker by the bar
Gold lame' and diamonds
Is them reaching out for me?
Overused and much abused promises of delight
I never thought I'd end up this way
Bright lights to guide me
Now I'm gold lame' and diamonds
Honey, would you sing it just for me?
I'm a hometown queen
Bar rails and cocktails, have you got a light?
Honey, would you care to spend the night?
That's what they pay me to be
Make it loud, make it do
With no dreams to hide me
In that what it pays to keep in sight
Give me small town blues
