Ricky Coyne - Blazing Star At Burley's Bar Lyrics

In the city every day, the gloom of night is broken
By neon plastic glitter, and men who sit there hopin'
That the next girl on the stage is prettier than the last
And the next beer that they're drinking will wash away the past

Blazing Starr at Burley's Bar, what else can you do?
Doesn't someone love you and want to take you home?
Blazing Starr at Burley's Bar, you got to play the game
Even though they'll never ask, "What's your real name?"

The girls wear lots of smell, even from a distance
Drinkin' champagne cocktails 'til it's time to dance again,
And decorate the stage with Frederick's negligee
Lipstick paints the smile that hides the dues they got to pay

Blazing Starr at Burley's Bar, what else can you do?
Doesn't someone love you and want to take you home?
Blazing Starr at Burley's Bar, you got to play the game
Even though they'll never ask, "What's your real name?"

But listen to me, sir, you've got the wrong idea
I love the girl you see, and if you could get near

You'd see her eyes that cry, her feelings and her dreams,
Her children call her "momma;" it's never what it seems

Blazing Starr at Burley's Bar, what else can you do?
Doesn't someone love you and want to take you home?
Blazing Starr at Burley's Barr, the night is finally through
I'll take you home, hold you close, and love the real you.
