I live the kind of life that [G] most men [D] only dream of.
I make my living [G] writing these songs and [D] singing them.
Now I'm 31 years old and [G] I ain't got no place to go [D] when it's all over.
But I hide my aches and make the [A] stage and try to kick the footlights [D] out again.
I throw my old guitar [G] across the stage and Lamar [D] takes the fall.
And the crowd goes nearly [G] wild to see old Nadine [D] nearly fall.
After 20 years of picking, [G] I'm alive and kicking [D] down some walls.
My high one's a mural.
But tonight I'll kick the footlights [A] out and walk away without no [D] curtain call.
Yeah, [G] tonight I'll kick the footlights out again and try to hide the mood that I'm [A] really in.
I might not put on my old Instamatic grin.
Oh, tonight I'm gonna kick some footlights [D] out again.
