Overnight Success

I've been drinking cold coffee

At a diner in Baton Rouge

I got a show there, out in nowhere

Then we gotta drive straight on through

To Oklahoma, then Arizona

What's a thousand miles or two

For a big star in a old car

This is all a dream come true

I've been living on easy street

It's all worked out so perfectly

It's just part of the life, I guess

Of an overnight success

There's a man out in California

Says he's got a great deal for me

I might take it, I wanna make it

Even if I gotta play for free

It's a small price for the big time

Told me this is just the break I need

He can't be serious, must be delirious

I wouldn't give it up for anything

I've been living on easy street

It's all worked out so perfectly

It's just part of the life, I guess

Of an overnight success

An overnight success

Just an overnight success
