[Verse 1]
Bright lights and promises
A pocket full of dreams
Ain't that what they paying me to be?
Gold lamé and diamonds
I am a hometown queen
Honey, would you sing it just for me?

[Verse 2]
When I was good
And then I was bad
I never thought I'd end up this way
I got no dreams to hide me
Bright lights to guide me
How long does it take to make the grade?

[Bridge]
Everywhere I hear
A ringing in my ear
Drummer, let your music play
Gimme small-town blues
Make it loud, make it do
Listen to my music sway

[Verse 3]
Got bar rails, you got cocktails
You got "Have you got a light?"
Ain't that what it pays to keep in sight?
Overused and much abused
Promises of delight
Honey, would you care to spend the night?
[Verse 4]
So you take a little time
Some memories and wine
And you loosen up the sucker by the bar
And if he wants to hold you
And if he wants to know you
Well honey, that's what you're here for

[Bridge]
Until all I see
Is them reaching out for me
Hey drummer, play that old-time melody

[Verse 5]
Bright lights and promises
Ain't that what it's for?
Leave and enter by the service door
Now I'm gold lamé and I'm diamonds
Even if my gold is worn
Honey, can you show me more?

[Outro]
Thank you.
