Ballyhoo Days Songtext
von B.J. Thomas

Sittin′ at the stage door of the palace
Lookin' down the alley two ways
And one way takes my mind back home to Dallas
The other to my ballyhoo days

There was a time my name had swept the nation
Now my job is sweepin′ cafes
Oh, and I wonder how much living I have wasted
Clingin' to my ballyhoo days


Ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
God Almighty, when I go
Please let me go dancin', dancin′

I′ve seen life from both sides of the curtain
And the only life for me is the stage
Oh, but nowadays my work is so uncertain
And filled with dreams of ballyhoo days

Ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
God Almighty, when I go
Please let me go dancin', dancin′, dancin'

In a ballyhoo way
Just like my ballyhoo days
