Well I guess I've been a long time

Working in a backline

Trying to make a song fit

When you know it never was mine

Two dollar high-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress

In the rhythm and the soul reviews I had a dream I guess

And I had to beat the stagefright

I had to cry all night

Trying to make a song fit

When you know it never was right

I said - girl, get up and get out of this mess

Youre gonna be an overnight sensation

Gonna be an overnight success

And all through the badlands

Rocking on the bandstands

Its so hard in the barbands

When theres no one there who understands

And lady luck will pas you by and she will never say yes

Youre gonna be an overnight sensation

Gonna be an overnight success

I used to be a sweet little rocknroll singer

Chasing after fortune and fame

Whats your story? whats your payola?

Me Im in the music game

Well I guess Ive been a long time

Working in a backline

Trying to make a song fit

When you know it never was mine

What can I tell you, I made a break I guess

And now Im an overnight sensation

Im an over overnight success
