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
