Overnight Sensation - Live
This one is overnight sensation
Well, I guess I've been a long time
Working in the backline
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, yeah, yes
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"
Oh, 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
And lady luck will pass you by, she will never say yes
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight
I'm gonna be an overnight success, yeah
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
Working in a backline
Trying 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
Said, I'm an overnight success
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
Over, overnight
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Over, overnight
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Over, overnight
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, I guess I've been a long time
Working in the backline
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, yeah, yes
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"
Oh, 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
And lady luck will pass you by, she will never say yes
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight
I'm gonna be an overnight success, yeah
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
Working in a backline
Trying 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
Said, I'm an overnight success
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
Over, overnight
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Over, overnight
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Over, overnight
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
