Lyrics

[Verse 1] A showman's life is a smoky bar And the fever 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 [Chorus] 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 rock and roller's heart Well, I might have known But nobody told me about this part [Verse 2] A boy will dream as children do Of the great white wave 'til the dream comes true And a phony smile and a cull of lies That's all it is in a showman's lifе Nobody told me about this part [Chorus] They told me all About thе pretty girls and the wine Whoa, and the money, the good times No mention of all the wear and tear On an old rock and roller's heart Well, I might have known it But nobody told me about this part No, no, ooh [Instrumental bridge] [Outro] Well, I might have known it But nobody told me about this part Mhmm, I might have known it But nobody told me about this part
