Lyrics
The Rise And Fall Of A Honky Tonk Hero They come here to see him in this honky tonk roadhouse A burning young star at the top of his game They're packed wall to wall for a glimpse at their hero Who's almost gone crazy chasing this fame The road has been hard, somehow he's been harder But the pills and the whiskey have taken their toll He keeps the truth hidden as long as he's singing But it comes rushing in with the last dying note It's the rise and fall of a honky tonk hero Who's been burning the candle at both ends too long He'll fly high tonight but it's all smoke and mirrors While the truth lies there hidden in the words of his songs There was someone who loved him, a girl back in Texas With the ways of an angel as he now recalls But he traded her love for a song and the highway Oh how bitter his tears whenever they fall (Repeat Chorus) Tag: Yes the truth is there hidden in the words of his songs
