A showman?s life is a smokey bar
And the fevered chase of a tiny star
It?s a hotel room and a lonely wife
From what I?ve seen of a showman?s life 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 honky tonker?s heart
Well I might of known it,
But nobody told me about this part
A boy will dream as children do
Of a great white way until the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all there is to a showman?s life nobody told me about this part
But nobody told me about this part
Well I might of known it
But nobody told me about this part
