A Showman's Life Lyrics - Midnight And Lonesome - Buddy Miller

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 

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 

Is all it is to 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 

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 

Nobody told me about this part
