A Showman's Life

But nobody told me about this part
And a phony smile in a colored light
Of a great white way, until the dream comes true
Well I might have known it

It�s a hotel room and a lonely wife
But nobody told me about this part

Is all there is to a showman�s life
On an old honky tonker�s heart
On an old honky tonker�s heart
Well I might have known it

There�s no mention of, all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker�s heart
From what I�ve seen of a showman�s life
They told me all about the pretty girls
They told me all about the pretty girls
A boy will dream as children do

Well I might have known it
Well I might have known it
And the wine and the money and the good times
Nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls
There�s no mention of all the wear and tear
There�s no mention of all the wear and tear
And the wine and the money and the good times
And the wine and the money and the good times

Nobody told me about this part
And nobody told me about this part
But nobody told me about this part
