[00:00.00]Footlights - Merle Haggard
[00:14.28]I live the kinda life most men only dream of
[00:27.50]I make my livin' writin' songs and singin' them
[00:42.12]But I'm forty-one years old and I ain't got no place to go
[00:48.68]When it's over
[00:55.30]So I hide my age and make the stage and
[01:00.02]Try to kick the footlights out again
[01:08.40]I throw my old guitar across the stage and
[01:12.65]Then my bassman takes the ball
[01:21.50]And the crowd goes nearly wild to see
[01:28.17]My guitar nearly fall
[01:36.07]After twenty years of pickin' we're still alive
[01:41.41]And kickin' and kickin' down the wall
[01:49.54]Tonight we'll kick the footlights out
[01:53.05]And walk away without a curtain call
[02:02.73]Tonight we'll kick the footlights out again
[02:09.24]And try to hide the mood we're really in
[02:15.80]Might not put on our old Instamatic grin
[02:22.35]Tonight we'll kick the footlights out again
[02:58.42]I live the kinda life most men only dream of
[03:11.98]And I make my livin' writin' songs and singin' them
[03:26.39]But I'm fortysome years old and I ain't got no place to go
[03:33.09]When it's over
[03:39.85]So I hide my age and make the stage and
[03:43.19]Try to kick the footlights out again
