The Opening Act

Boys wontcha sit down and listen I'll try to sell you all my words Singing about how outlaw songs Ain't what outlaw songs were And now I'm low down and drifting As the bar room fills with smoke I've been screaming like preacher Wearin' out my throat at every show I'm up at the crack of daylight I'm up with the midnight glow Down around 3 AM Then it's off to sing away my soul But it really ain't a bad life When I'm singin' for a chunk of Change I play at every place in town Still nobody knows my name Yeah I play at every place in town Still nobody knows my name Boys won't ya sit down and listen I'll try to sell you all my words Singing about how outlaw songs Ain't what outlaw songs were
