A Showman's Life lyrics

Artist Gary Allan
Album(s) See If I Care

Lyrics

A showman's life is a smoky bar / and the fevered chase of a tiny star / it's a hotel room and a lonely wife / from what I've seen a showman's life // chorus: nobody told me about this part / they told me all about the pretty girls and the wine / and the money and the good times / there's no mention of all the wear and tear on an old honkey tonker's heart / 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 till the dream comes true / and a phony smile in a colored light / is all there is to a showman's life /// repeat chorus twice /// well, I might have known it, but nobody told me about this part
