Overnight Sensation - 2022 Remaster

Well I guess I've been a long time
Working in a backline
Trying to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
Two dollar high-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm and the soul reviews I had a dream I guess
Yeah yeah
And I had to beat the stagefright
I had to cry all night
Trying to make a song fit
When you know it never was right
I said: "Girl, get up and get out of this mess
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success, yeah
And all through the badlands
Rocking on the bandstands
It's so hard in the barbands
When there's no one there who understands
And Lady Luck will pass you by and she will never say yes

You're gonna be an overnight sensation
You're gonna be an overnight
You gonna be an overnight success, yeah

Oh, I used to be a sweet little rock'n'roll singer
Chasing after fortune and fame
And you say: "What's your story? What's your payola?"
Me I'm in the music game
Well I guess I've been a long time
Working in a backline
Trying to make a song fit
You know it never was mine, ey
What can I tell you?
I made a break I guess

Now I'm an overnight sensation
Oh overnight, uh
Said I'm an over overnight sensation
Ahh you know

(Over over)
Ooh (over overnight)
Ahh oh
Over overnight
(Over overnight)
Yeah yeah yeah, oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Over overnight
Over overnight
Over overnight
Over (over)
Over overnight
Over overnight
(Over overnight)
(Ooh) Yeah
Over overnight (over overnight)
Over overnight sensation, ooh
Yeah (over overnight)
Over overnight
Yeah over overnight senstation
Yeah yeah, ah ha ha ha, yeah
(Over over)
(Over overnight)
(Over over)
