Bright lights and promises   A pocket full of dreams   That's what they pay me to be   Gold lame' and diamonds   I'm a hometown queen   Honey, would you sing it just for me?      When I was good, then 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      Bar rails and cocktails, have you got a light?   In that what it pays to keep in sight   Overused 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 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   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?
