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 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 time
Though it makes an oath, all the wear and tear
On an old honky-tonker's heart
Well, I might a-know 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 phony smile in a colored light
Well, that's 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 time
Though it makes an oath, all the wear and tear
On an old honky-tonker's heart
Well, I might a-know it
But nobody told me about this part
Well, I might a-know it
But nobody told me about this part, mmm
Well, I might a-know it
But nobody told me about this part, yeah
