Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I live the kind of life
That most men only dream of
I make my livin' writin' songs
And singin' them
But I'm 41 years old, and I ain't got no place to go
When it's over
I'll hide my age and make the stage
And try to kick the footlights out again
[Verse 2]
I throw my old guitar across the stage
And then my bass man takes the ball
And the crowd goes nearly wild
To see my guitar nearly fall
[Verse 3]
After twenty years of pickin'
We're still alive and kickin' down the wall
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out
And walk away without a curtain call
[Verse 4]
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 the footlights out again
[Verse 5]
I live the kind of life
That most men only dream of
I make my livin' writin' songs
And singin' them
But I'm 41 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
