Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So you want to believe everything that you read

And you think that you're makin' the grade

And just when you're getting it made

You're still in love with her

[Verse 2]

She'll ask you to kiss her

Hopin' you'll miss her

By takin' your mind off the road

Just when you're ready to go

You turn your back on her

[Verse 3]

You're fixin' your mind on the road ahead

At last you're gonna be free

You love her, you kiss her

Be glad that you miss her

[Verse 4]

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

[Verse 5]

So you turn on the smiles

'Cause you think it's the big time

The cost just is more than the star

And nobody knows who you are

Don't even know your name

[Verse 6]

At last they accept you

They kiss you, caress you

And ask you to reach for the sky

And just when you're ready to die

They turn their back on you

[Verse 7]

So they put you in Hell

In survival hotel

Where they wish you would die from the cold

They know you belong to a traveling show

[Verse 8]

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

[Verse 9]

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

[Verse 10]

So you want to believe everything that you read

And you think that you're makin' the grade

And just when you're getting it made

You're still in love with her

[Verse 11]

She'll ask you to kiss her

Hopin' you'll miss her

By takin' your mind off the road

And just when you're ready to go

You turn your back on her

[Verse 12]

You're fixin' your mind on the road ahead

At last you're gonna be free

You love her, you kiss her

Be glad that you miss her

[Verse 13]

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

[Verse 14]

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away

Dancing the night away
