Chris Carmack - A Showman's Life Lyrics
A showman's life is a smokey barAnd the fevered chase of a tiny starIt's a hotel room and a lonely wifeFrom what I've seen of a showman's lifeNobody told me about this partThey told me all about the pretty girls and the wineAnd the money and the good timesNo mention of all the wear and tearOn an old honky tonker's heartWell, I might've known itBut nobody told me about this partA boy will dream as children doOf a great white way until the dream comes trueAnd a phony smile in a colored lightIs all there is to a showman's lifeNobody told me about this partThey told me all about the pretty girls and the wineAnd the money and the good timesNo mention of all the wear and tearOn an old honky tonker's heartWell, I might've known itBut nobody told me about this partNobody told me about this partThey told me all about the pretty girls and the wineAnd the money and the good timesNo mention of all the wear and tearOn an old honky tonker's heartWell, I might've known itBut nobody told me about this partWell, I might've known itBut nobody told me about this part
