Bright Lights And Promises Lyrics - Between The Lines - Janis Ian

Bright lighs and promises 

A pocket full of dreams 

That's what they pay me to be 

Gold lame' and diamonds 

I am a hometown queen 

Honey, would sing it just for me? 

When I was good 

And when I was bad 

I never thought I'd end up this way 

With no dreams to hide me 

Bright lights to guide me 

How long does it take to make the grade? 

Everywhere I hear 

A ringing in my ear 

Drummer, let the music play

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Give me small town blues 

Make it loud, make it do 

Listen to the music sway. 

Barrails and cocktails 

Have you got a lite? 

Ain't that what it pays to keep in site? 

Over used and much abused 

Promises of delight 

Honey, would you care to spend the night? 

Take a little time 

Some memories and wine 

Loosen up the sucker by the bar 

And if he wants to hold you 

If he wants to know 

Honey, that's what your here for. 

Until all I see 

Is them reaching out for me 

Drummer, play that ol' time melody.

Even if my gold is worn 

Honey, can you show me more?
