Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bright lights and promises A pocket full of dreams Ain't that what they paying me to be? Gold lamé and diamonds I am a hometown queen Honey, would you sing it just for me? [Verse 2] When I was good And then I was bad I never thought I'd end up this way I got no dreams to hide me Bright lights to guide me How long does it take to make the grade? [Bridge] Everywhere I hear A ringing in my ear Drummer, let your music play Gimme small-town blues Make it loud, make it do Listen to my music sway [Verse 3] Got bar rails, you got cocktails You got "Have you got a light?" Ain't that what it pays to keep in sight? Overused and much abused Promises of delight Honey, would you care to spend the night? [Verse 4] So you take a little time Some memories and wine And you loosen up the sucker by the bar And if he wants to hold you And if he wants to know you Well honey, that's what you're here for [Bridge] Until all I see Is them reaching out for me Hey drummer, play that old-time melody [Verse 5] Bright lights and promises Ain't that what it's for? Leave and enter by the service door Now I'm gold lamé and I'm diamonds Even if my gold is worn Honey, can you show me more? [Outro] Thank you.
