Текст песни A Showman's Life

A showman's life is a smoky bar And the fevered chase of a tiny star It's a hotel room and a lonely wife From what i've seen a showman's life Chorus: 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 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 till the dream comes true And a phony smile in a colored light Is all there is to a showman's life Repeat chorus twice Well, i might have known it, but nobody told me about this part
