Footlights

In the style of

Merle Haggard

Lyrics

i live the kinda life
that most men

only dream of

i make my livin' writin' songs

and singin' them

but i'm forty-one years old
and i ain't got no place to go

when it's over

so i hide my age
and make the stage

and try to kick
the footlights out again

i throw my old guitar
across the stage

and then my bassman
takes the ball

and the crowd goes
nearly wild

to see my guitar nearly fall

after twenty years of pickin'
we're still alive

and kickin' down the wall

tonight we'll kick
the footlights out

and walk away
without a curtain call

tonight i'll kick
the footlights out again

and try to hide the mood
i'm really in

and put on my old
instamatic grin

tonight i'll kick
footlights out again

i live the kinda life
that most men

only dream of

and i make my livin'
writin' songs

and singin' them

but i'm forty-one years old
and i ain't got no place to go

when it's over

so i hide my age
and make the stage

and try to kick
the footlights out again
