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 SOLO 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 Well, I might have known it But nobody told me about this part Brady Blade drums Rick Plant bass Al Perkins steel guitar Phil Madeira organ Emmylou Harris harmony Buddy Miller vocals/guitar From Buddy Miller "Midnight And Lonesome" Hightone Records 2002 Fourth Floor Music/Hot Kitchen Music(ASCAP)
