Footlights

Capo 1

  A                     D      
I live the kind of life most men 
       A
only dream of
  A                      E        
I make my livin' writin' songs and
         A
 singin' them
        A                        D
But I'm 41 years old and I ain't 
                            A
got no place to go when it's over
     A                             
So I hide my age, and make the 
      E                            
stage and try to kick the 
  A
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 20 years of pickin', we're 
still alive and kickin' down the 
walls
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out
 and walk away without a curtain 
call



Refrão -------------
  D
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out
 again,
    D                              
And try to hide the mood I?m really
 A
 in
                             E
And put on my old instamatic grin,
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out
  A
 again
-------------------- 



I' live the kind of life most men 
only dream of
I make my livin' writin' songs, and 
singin' them
But I'm forty-some years old and I 
ain't got no place to go when it's 
over
So I?ll hide my age and make the 
stage and try to kick the footlights
 out again
