Overnight Sensation

To hear some people tell it
I'm an overnight sensation
I'm the small town boy who's made it
To the airwaves of the nation
My lucky charm has been my guiding light and my salvation
It's kept the white line burning bright
On the road to be an Overnight Sensation

Country Club or Honky-Tonk
Champagne or Tap Beer
Where the people drink and dance
You know that I've played here
I criss-crossed this whole country
On my steady uphill climb
Suddenly I'm on a roll and I'm an Overnight Sensation

This Overnight Sensation
Says the night's been much too long
I hope it's really over now
I'm ready for the dawn
I've lived so hard on borrowed time
To reach my destination
It's time to pay back everything I owe
Now that I'm an Overnight Sensation

For years I used to drink up every nickel of my pay
After my wife left me, took the kids and moved away
She left me 'cuz she loved me
And she knew I'd never rest
'Til I proved that I could be the best
And be and Overnight Sensation


This Overnight Sensation
Says the night's been much too long
I hope it's really over now
I'm ready for the dawn
I've lived so hard on borrowed time
To reach my destination
It's time to pay back everything I owe
Now that I'm an Overnight Sensation
