Lyrics:

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 A Showman's Life // Chorus 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 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 Till The Dream Comes True / And A Phony Smile In A Colored Light / Is All There Is To A Showman's Life /// Repeat Chorus Twice /// Well, I Might Have Known It, But Nobody Told Me About This Part
