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 the wine and the money and the good times, There’s no mention of all the wear and tear, On an old honky tonker’s heart Well I might of known it, But nobody told me about this part A boy will dream as children do Of a great white way until the dream comes true And a phony smile in a colored light Is all there is to a showman’s life nobody told me about this part Chorus But nobody told me about this part Chorus Well I might of known it But nobody told me about this part
