Bright lights and promises, a pocket full of dreams That's what they paid me to be Gold, lumber and diamonds, I am a hometown queen Honey, would you 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 ears Drummer, let the music play Give me small town blues, make it loud, make it do Listen to the music sway Barrels and cocktails, have you got a light? Ain't that what it pays to keep in sight? Overused and botched abuse, 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 you Honey, 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 Leaving in to buy a service dog Now I'm gold, lamé and diamonds Even if my gold is worn Honey, can you show me more? Thanks for watching!
