WELL I GUESS I`VE BEEN A LONG TIME

WORKING IN THE BACKLINE

TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT

YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE

TWO DOLLAR HI-HEEL SHOES AND A HONKY TONK DRESS

IN THE RHYTHM AN THE SOUL REVUES

I HAD A DREAM I GUESS

YES YES



AND I HAD TO BEAT THE STAGEFRIGHT

I HAD TO CRY ALL NIGHT

TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT

YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE

I SAID GIRL, GET UP AND GET OUT OF THIS MESS

YOU`RE GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION

BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS



AND ALL THROUGH THE BADLANDS

ROCKING ON THE BANDSTANDS

IT`S SO HARD IN THE BAR BANDS

THAN THERE`S NOONE THERE WHO UNDERSTANDS

AND LADY LUCK`LL PASS HER BY

AND SHE`LL NEVER SAY YES

YOU`RE GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION

GONNA BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS



WELL 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 THE BACKLINE

TRYIN` TO MAKE A SONG FIT

YOU KNOW IT NEVER WAS MINE

WHAT CAN I TELL YOU

I MADE A BREAK I GUESS

NOW I`M AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION

I`M AN OVERNIGHT

I`M AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS
