Footlights - Joe Nichols

I live the kinda life

Most men only dream of

I make my livin' writing songs

And singin' them

But I’m 31 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 tonight

Try to kick the footlights out again

I’ll throw my old guitar

Across the stage and then my bass man takes a bone

And the crowd goes nearly wild

To see my guitar nearly fall

After 20 years of pickin'

I’m still alive and kickin' down the walls

And tonight I’ll kick the footlights out and

Walk away without a curtain call

Yea tonight I’m gonna kick the footlights out again

And I’ll try to hide the mood I’m really in

Might not put on my old instamatic grin

Yea tonight I’m gonna kick the footlights out again

And again

I live the kinda life

Most men only dream of

I make my livin' writing songs

And singin' them

But I’m 30 some 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 tonight

Try to kick the footlights out again
