"Overnight Success" lyrics

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

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
