[00:14.850]A showman's life is a smokey bar
[00:21.985]And the fevered chase of a tiny star
[00:29.686]It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
[00:37.572]From what I've seen of a showman's life
[00:43.227]Nobody told me about this part
[00:51.034]They told me all about the pretty girls
[00:57.050]And the wine and the money and the good times
[01:08.229]No mention of all the wear and tear
[01:15.787]On an old honky tonker's heart
[01:23.228]Well I might have known it
[01:27.213]But nobody told me about this part
[01:38.061]A boy will dream as children do
[01:45.131]Of a great white way till the dream comes true
[01:53.019]And a phony smile in a colored light
[02:00.476]Is all there is to a showman's life
[02:06.385]Nobody told me about this part
[02:14.003]They told me all about the pretty girls
[02:20.221]And the wine and the money and the good times
[02:31.394]No mention of all the wear and tear
[02:38.833]On an old honky tonker's heart
[02:46.092]Well I might have known it
[02:50.154]But nobody told me about this part
[03:28.957]Nobody told me about this part
[03:36.243]They told me all about the pretty girls
[03:42.314]And the wine and the money and the good times
[03:53.242]No mention of all the wear and tear
[04:00.607]On an old honky tonker's heart
[04:07.594]Well I might have known it
[04:11.577]But nobody told me about this part
[04:21.946]I might have known it
[04:26.796]But nobody told me about this part
