[00:15.01]A showman's life is a smokey bar
[00:21.90]And the fevered chase of a tiny star
[00:29.29]It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
[00:36.46]From what I've seen of a showman's life
[00:42.22]Nobody told me about this part
[00:47.63]
[00:49.20]They told me all about the pretty girls
[00:55.52]And the wine and the money and the good times
[01:06.27]No mention of all the wear and tear
[01:13.37]On an old honky tonker's heart
[01:20.36]Well I might have known it
[01:24.58]But nobody told me about this part
[01:31.06]
[01:34.86]A boy will dream as children do
[01:40.94]Of a great white way, till the dream comes true
[01:49.19]And a phony smile in a colored light
[01:56.69]Is all there is to a showman's life
[02:02.39]Nobody told me about this part
[02:08.11]
[02:09.43]They told me all about the pretty girls
[02:15.54]And the wine and the money and the good times
[02:26.49]No mention of all the wear and tear
[02:33.53]On an old honky tonker's heart
[02:40.31]Well I might have known it
[02:44.83]But nobody told me about this part
[02:52.04]
[03:22.30]Nobody told me about this part
[03:29.46]They told me all about the pretty girls
[03:35.09]And the wine and the money and the good times
[03:46.44]No mention of all the wear and tear
[03:53.55]On an old honky tonker's heart
[04:00.42]Well I might have known it
[04:05.65]But nobody told me about this part
[04:16.43]I might have known it
[04:20.00]But nobody told me about this part
[04:27.16]
