Well, I guess I’ve been a long time Working in the back line Trying to make a song fit When you know it never was mine
Two dollar high-heel shoes And a honky tonk dress In the rhythm and the soul reviews I had a dream I guess, yeah yes And I had to beat the stage fright I had to cry all night Trying to make a song fit When you know it never was right I said, “Girl, get up and Get out of this mess
You’re going to be an overnight sensation Going to be an overnight success”
And all through the badlands Rocking on the bandstands It’s so hard in the bar bands When there’s no one there who understands Lady luck will pass you by And she will never say yes
You’re going to be an overnight sensation Going to be an overnight Going to be an overnight success
I used to be a sweet little Rock ‘n’ roll singer Chasing after fortune and fame What’s your story? What’s your payola? Me, I’m in the music game
Well I guess I’ve been a long time Working in a back line I’m trying to make a song fit I know it never was mine
Eh, what can I tell you? I made a break I guess And now I’m an overnight sensation Over, overnight Say I’m an overnight sensation
