Lyrics Showgirl

[with Murry Hammond]

Me and the road have been unkind to you
I can't face me alone
I opened for a golden-haired chanteuse
And she sang me back home

I never hungered for the wild life, the juke joints and the motel rooms
All that I wanted was to be a wife and maybe raise a child or two
Nothin’ fancy but every word's true
That’s all I ever wanted to do
I ain't no showgirl but I still love you

I'm sorry, so so sorry (she got you for a song, she got you for a song)
I'm sorry, so so sorry (she got you for a song, she got you for a song)

I'll try to find the perfect melody
And maybe that will bring you back to me
I wish that somebody could show me how
'Cause nothin's comin' right now

She shares your hunger for the wild life, the juke joints and the motel rooms
All that I wanted was to be a wife and maybe raise a child or two
Nothin’ fancy but every word's true
That’s all I ever wanted to do
I ain't no showgirl but I still love you

I'm sorry, so so sorry (she got you for a song, she got you for a song)
I'm sorry, so so sorry (she got you for a song, she got you for a song)

I'll try to find the perfect melody
And maybe that will bring you back to me
I wish that somebody could show me how
'Cause nothin's comin' right now
