Lyrics: Overnight Sensation

Well I guess I’ve been a long time
Working in the back line
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 stage fright
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 back line
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
