It doesn't matter who you are, we're all trying to get
on,
averyone 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 class

(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)
