Footlights
Written and recorded by Merle Haggard
 
 G                      C             G 
I live the kinda life  most men only dream of
                         D7                 G 
I make my livin' writin' songs  and singin' them
                                        C                            G 
But I'm forty-one years old and I ain't got no place to go when it's over
                          
But I'll hide my age and make the stage 
    D7                             G 
And try to kick the footlights out again

                                 C                                    G 
I throw my old guitar across the stage and then my bass-man takes the ball
                          D7                           G 
And the crowd goes nearly wild to see my guitar nearly fall
                                    C                                G 
After twenty years of pickin' we're still alive and kickin' down the wall
                                         D7                          G 
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out and walk away without a curtain call

  C 
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out again
                                    G 
And try to hide the mood I'm really in
                             D7 
And put on my old instamatic grin
                                     G 
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out again

Repeat #1
