Overnight Sensation

well i guess i been a long time

working in the back line

trying to make a song fit

you know it never was mine

two dollar high heel and a honky tonk dress

in the rhythm and 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 right

i said girl get up and get out of this mess

you're gonna be and overnight sensation

be an overnight success



and all through the badlands

rockin' on the bandstands

it's so hard in the bar bands

when there's no one there who understands

and lady luck'll pass you 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

workin' 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 over overnight

i'm an over overnight success
