Overnight Sensation

Well I guess I've been a long time Working in the backline I'm 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 stage fright 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" You're gonna be an overnight sensation Gonna be an overnight success And all through the badlands Rocking on the bandstands It's so hard in the barbands And when there's no one there who understands And Lady Luck will pa*s you by and she will never say yes You're gonna be an overnight sensation You're gonna be an overnight You're gonna be an overnight success I used to be a sweet little rock'n'roll singer Chasing after fortune and fame I said, "What's your story? What's your payola?" Me, I'm in the music game Well I guess I've been a long time Workin' in the backline Tryin' 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 I'm an overnight sensation I'm an over overnight I'm an over overnight success
