- A Showman's Life Lyrics(feat. Faith Hill)
A showman's life is a smokey bar
And the fevered chase of a tiny star
It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
From what I've seen of a showman's life
Nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls
And the wine and the money and the good times
There's no mention of all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well I might have known it
But nobody told me about this part
A boy will dream as children do
Of a great white way, until the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all there is to a showman's life
Nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls
And the wine and the money and the good times
There's no mention of all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well I might have known it
But nobody told me about this part
And nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls
And the wine and the money and the good times
There's no mention of, all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well I might have known it
But nobody told me about this part
Well I might have known it
Nobody told me about this part
A showman's life is a smokey bar
And the fevered chase of a tiny star
It's a hotel room and a lonely wife
From what I've seen of a showman's life
Nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls
And the wine and the money and the good times
There's no mention of all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well I might have known it
But nobody told me about this part
A boy will dream as children do
Of a great white way, until the dream comes true
And a phony smile in a colored light
Is all there is to a showman's life
Nobody told me about this part
And the wine and the money and the good times
There's no mention of all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well I might have known it
But nobody told me about this part
And nobody told me about this part
They told me all about the pretty girls
And the wine and the money and the good times
There's no mention of, all the wear and tear
On an old honky tonker's heart
Well I might have known it
But nobody told me about this part
Well I might have known it
Nobody told me about this part

When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, George Strait’s ‘A Showman’s Life’ narrates the rough sides of a showman’s life and, by using metaphors such as ‘a smokey bar’ and ‘a phony smile in a colored light’ as well as contrasting the loneliness and emotional toll with the glamour, opens up the difference between the public’s expectation and the artist's inner life. The lyrics mainly serve to highlight the feelings of reflection, angst, heartbreak, solitude, and despair. However, the song also points out the effective use of disillusionment as one of the main topics, the struggle between glamour and reality, and ultimately the aspect of loneliness. The lyrics take up the themes of disillusionment and the harsh realities of a showman's life, which may come across as more appropriate for the adult audience. The language is soft, but the themes might be such that the presence of parents is advisable for the younger listeners.
