[Chorus 1]
Well, I guess I've been a long time
Working in the back line
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was mine
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
You're going to be an overnight sensation
Going to 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 pa** you by
And she will never say yes
[Chorus 2]
You're going to be an overnight sensation
Going to be an overnight
Going to be an overnight success
[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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
Eh, what can I tell you?
I made a break I guess
And now I'm an overnight sensation
Over, overnight
Say I'm an overnight sensation
[Outro]
Over, overnight [8x]
Over, overnight sensation
Over, overnight
Over, overnight sensation
Yeah, yeah, yeah
