Bright lights 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 you

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
