Lyrics

I live the kind of life that most men only dream of
I make my living writing these songs and singing them
Now I'm thirty-one years old and I ain't
Got no place to go when it's all over
But I hide my aches and make the stage
And try to kick the footlights out again
I throw my old guitar across the stage and Lamar takes the ball
And the crowd goes nearly wild to see old Nadine nearly fall
After twenty years of picking I'm
Alive and I'm kicking down some walls
High ones, Merle
But tonight I'll kick the footlights out
And walk away without no curtain call
Yeah, 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 old instamatic grin
Oh, tonight I'm gonna kick some footlights out again
Yeah, I live the kind of life that most men only dream of
I make my living writing 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 aches and make the stage and
Try to kick all the footlights out again
Oh, tonight I'll kick the footlights out again
Not try to hide the mood that I'm really in
Might not put on my old instamatic grin
Oh, tonight I'll kick some footlights out again
