Bright Lights and Promises (Solo)

[Verse 1]
Bright lights and promises
A pocket full of dreams
That's what they pay me to be
Gold lamé and diamonds
I am a hometown queen
Honey, would you sing it just for me?

[Verse 2]
When I was good
Then 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?

[Bridge]
Everywhere I hear
Ringing in my ear
Drummer, let the music play
Gimme small-town blues
Make it loud, make it do
Listen to my music sway

[Verse 3]
You got bar rails and cocktails
Have you got a light?
That's what it pays to keep in sight
Overused and much abused
Promises of delight
Honey, would you care to spend the night?

[Verse 4]
So you take a little time
Take some memories and wine
Loosen up the sucker by the bar
And if he wants to hold you
If he wants to know you
Honey, that's what you're here for

[Bridge]
Until all I see
Is them reaching out for me
Drummer, play that old-time melody

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Bright lights and promises
That's all it's for
You leave and enter by the service door
I am gold lamé and diamonds
Even if my gold is worn
Honey, who could ask for more?
