《Footlights》歌词

[00:00:00] Footlights - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:14] I live the kinda life most men only dream of

[00:00:28] I make my livin' writin' songs and singin' them

[00:00:42] But I'm forty-one years old and I ain't got no place to go

[00:00:49] When it's over

[00:00:56] So I hide my age and make the stage and

[00:01:00] Try to kick the footlights out again

[00:01:09] I throw my old guitar across the stage and

[00:01:13] Then my bassman takes the ball

[00:01:22] And the crowd goes nearly wild to see

[00:01:28] My guitar nearly fall

[00:01:36] After twenty years of pickin' we're still alive

[00:01:41] And kickin' and kickin' down the wall

[00:01:49] Tonight we'll kick the footlights out

[00:01:53] And walk away without a curtain call

[00:02:01] Tonight we'll kick the footlights out again

[00:02:08] And try to hide the mood we're really in

[00:02:14] Might not put on our old Instamatic grin

[00:02:20] Tonight we'll kick the footlights out again

[00:02:53] I live the kinda life most men only dream of

[00:03:06] And I make my livin' writin' songs and singin' them

[00:03:14] But I'm fortysome years old and I ain't got no place to go

[00:03:26] When it's over

[00:03:33] Try to kick the footlights out again
