Footlights

I live the kind of life most men only dream of

I make my living writin' these songs and singing them

Now I'm thirty-one years old and I got no place to go when it's all over

But 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 Lamar takes the ball

And the crowd goes nearly wild to see ol' Nadine nearly fall

After twenty years of pickin' I'm alive and and I'm kickin' down some wall

Tonight I'll kick the footlights out and walk away without no curtain call

Tonight I'll kick the footlights out again

And try to hide the mood that I'm really in

I might not put on my ol' Instamatic grin

Tonight I'm gonna kick some footlights out again

Yeah, I live the kinda life most men only dream of

I make my living writin' songs and singing them

Now I'm thirty-one years old and I ain't got a place to go when it's all over

So I hide my age and make the stage and try to kick all the footlights out again

Tonight I'll kick the footlights out again

Not tryin' to hide the mood that I'm really in

Might not put on my ol' Instamatic grin

Tonight I'm gonna kick some footlights out again
