Bright Lights and Promises |
| Bright lighs and promises |
| A pocket full of dreams |
| That’s what they pay me to be |
| Gold lame' and diamonds |
| I am a hometown queen |
| Honey, would sing it just for me? |
| When I was good |
| And when I was bad |
| I never thought I’d end up this way |
| With no dreams to hide me |
| Bright lights to guide me |
| How long does it take to make the grade? |
| Everywhere I hear |
| A ringing in my ear |
| Drummer, let the music play |
| Give me small town blues |
| Make it loud, make it do |
| Listen to the music sway |
| Barrails and cocktails |
| Have you got a lite? |
| Ain’t that what it pays to keep in site? |
| Over used and much abused |
| Promises of delight |
| Honey, would you care to spend the night? |
| Take a little time |
| Some memories and wine |
| Loosen up the sucker by the bar |
| And if he wants to hold you |
| If he wants to know |
| Honey, that’s what your here for |
| Until all I see |
| Is them reaching out for me |
| Drummer, play that ol' time melody |
| Bright lights and promises |
| That’s all it’s for |
| Leave and enter by the service door |
| Now, I’m gold lame' and diamonds |
| Even if my gold is worn |
| Honey, can you show me more? |
