A Showman's Life - Jesse Winchester

作词：Winchester

Winchester

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 wine

And the money and the good times

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 'til the dream comes true

And a phoney smile in a colored light

And that's all it's to a showman's life

Nobody told me about this part

They told me all about the pretty girls and wine

And the money and the good times

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

Well I might have known it

But nobody told me about this part mmm

Well I might have known it

But nobody told me about this part yeah
