A Showman?s Life - Gary Allan E B A showman?s life is a smokey bar C#m A And the fevered chase of a tiny star C#m A It?s a hotel room and a lonely wife E B E From what I?ve seen of a showman?s life nobody told me about this part Chorus: A E They told me all about the pretty girls E B E And the wine and the money and the good times, A There?s no mention of all the wear and tear, C#m B A On an old honky tonker?s heart E Well I might of known it, B E But nobody told me about this part A boy will dream as children do Of a great white way until the dream comes true And a phony smile in a colored light Is all there is to a showman?s life nobody told me about this part Chorus But nobody told me about this part Chorus Well I might of known it But nobody told me about this part
