Overnight Success

WELL THERE I WAS IN ’59 A BOLT OUT OF THE BLUE
MOM ‘N’ DADDY THEY GOT WED IT SEEMED THE THING TO DO
DOWN THERE AT THE OLD CHURCH DRESSED IN SUNDAY BEST
MINISTER SAID THAT BOY COULD BE AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

NOW I AIN’T ABOUT TO CAST NO DOUBT ON A SERVANT TO THE LORD
I WAS RAISED ON SONGS OF PRAISE TO LIVE LIFE BY THE WORD
YEARS MOVED ON DOUBT SET IN KEPT THE FAITH I GUESS
ALL THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT, OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

I’M A 45 YEAR OVERNIGHT SUCCESS
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER I GUESS
I BEEN ONE STEP UP TWO STEPS BACK
TOUGHER THAN THE REST
A 45 YEAR OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

WELL I PICKED UP MY FIRST GUITAR AGED JUST 17
THERE AND THEN I HAD NO DOUBT WHAT I WAS GONNA BE
NOW HERE I AM SOME YEARS LATER PLAYIN WITH THE BEST
A 45 YEAR STANDIN’ RIGHT HERE OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

I’M A 45 YEAR OVERNIGHT SUCCESS
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER I GUESS
I BEEN ONE STEP UP TWO STEPS BACK
TOUGHER THAN THE REST
A 45 YEAR OVERNIGHT SUCCESS

I’M A 45 YEAR OVERNIGHT SUCCESS
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER I GUESS
I BEEN ONE STEP UP TWO STEPS BACK
TOUGHER THAN THE REST
