[00:37.15]From what I've seen of a showman's life
[00:43.00]Nobody told me about this part
[00:50.14]They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine and
[01:00.06]The money and the good times
[01:07.30]No mention of all the wear and tear on an old honkey tonker's heart

[02:21.32]The money and the good times
[02:28.51]No mention of all the wear and tear on an old honkey tonker's heart
[02:42.97]Well
[02:44.41]I might have known it
[02:48.06]But nobody told me about this part
[03:25.91]Nobody told me about this part
[03:31.34]They told me all about the pretty girls and the wine and
[03:42.53]The money and the good times
[03:48.02]No mention of all the wear and tear on an old honkey tonker's heart
[04:04.29]Well
[04:05.60]I might have known it
