Overnight Sensation

[Verse 1]
Well, I guess I've been a long time
Working in the back line
Tryna 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, yeah yes
And I had to beat the stage fright
I had to cry all night
Trynao make a song fit
When you know it never was right
I said, "Girl, get up and get out of this mess"

[Chorus 1]
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success

[Verse 2]
And all through the badlands
Rocking on the bandstands
It's so hard in the bar bands
When there's no one there who understands
Lady luck will pass you by
And she will never say yes

[Chorus]
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight
Gonna be an overnight success

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
Well I guess I've been a long time
Working in a back line
I'm trying to make a song fit
I know it never was mine
Eh, what can I tell you?
I made a break I guess

[Chorus]
And now I'm an overnight sensation
Over, overnight
Say I'm an overnight sensation

[Outro]
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
Yeah, yeah, yeah
