A showman?s life is a smokey bar
C#m A
And the fevered chase of a tiny star
C#m A
It?s a hotel room and a lonely wife
E B E
From what I?ve seen of a showman?s life nobody told me about this part
A E
They told me all about the pretty girls
E B E
And the wine and the money and the good times,
A
There?s no mention of all the wear and tear,
C#m B A
On an old honky tonker?s heart
E
Well I might of known it,
B E
But nobody told me about this part
A boy will dream as children do
