Dan Knobler - Bright Lights and the Fame lyrics

You struck me as the kind of man I'd love and lose alone A ramblin' man with a beat-up plan Dreams of hitting gold But you stole me heart playing your guitar You sang me to my vows So when you said you were settling in I didn't listen my doubts [Chorus:] Cause the honky-tonks And the cowboy songs Will always call your name No, you'll never love anything as much As bright lights and the fame So it was good at first You found some steady work You were happy as can be But as the babies grew I saw us tire you The simple life left you in need I would cook and clean I tried everything To keep you as my own But from the start I should I have listened to my heart Cause I could never keep you home [Chorus] So and it came The day you went away I didn't shed a tear Instead I kissed your lips And told my heart to quit Holding on just out of fear It ain't you and me You were meant to be On the highway all alone Singing songs about The woman that you lost All for nothing but the road [Chorus x2] Oh, you'll never love anything as much As bright lights and the fame
