It doesn't matter who you are, we're all trying to get on,
everyone in his own way, from the day that we are borne,
singles for that ballroom queen that I heard about,
who gets the best of the clientele and lets them make her out.
[Chorus:]
Well it's alright baby, you changed your life and how,
you used to be a honky tonk sister, but you're a lady now
It seemed like love at first sight, I was completely mesmerised,
when she turned 'round in that bar, there was fire in her eyes,
thought my search was over now, found that special girl at last,
so I took her home with me, I like the lady's cla**
[Chorus & solo]
I had all my tomorrows planned, but how long can it be,
inside we're all honky tonks as far as I can see,
I woke up but she was gone, too late I realised
that the lady used me as a stepping stone as she reached for the sky.
[Chorus]
