Bright Lights And Promises Lyrics

Bright lights and promises

 A pocket full of dreams

 That's what they pay me to be

 Gold lame' and diamonds

 I'm a hometown queen

 Honey, would you sing it just for me?

 

 When I was good then 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?

 

 Ev'rywhere I hear a ringing in my ear

 Drummer, let the music play

 Small-town blues

 Make it loud, make it do

 Listen to the music sway

 

 Bar rails and cocktails

 "Have you got a light?"

 That's all it pays to keep in sight

 Overused 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

 That's what you're here for

 

 Until all I see

 Is them reaching out for me

 Drummer, play that old time melody

 

 Bright lights and promises

 That's all it's for

 Leave and enterby the service door

 Now I'm gold lame' and diamonds

 Even if the gold is worn

 Honey, can you show me more?
