Verse 1

Cm
I live
G
Am
Cm
G
the kind of life
C
G
that most men only dream of
D
I make my living writin' songs
G
and singin' bills
But I'm 41 years old
C
and I ain't got no place to
G
go when it's over.
But I hide my age and make the stage,
D
G
try to kick the footlights out again.
Cm
G
I throw my old
C
guitar across the stage
G
And then the bassman takes the ball
D
And the crowd goes nearly wild
G
To see my guitar nearly fall
After twenty years of pickin'
C
I'm still alive and kickin'
G
down some walls
D
Tonight we'll kick the footlights out
G
And walk away without a curtain call
C
Tonight we'll kick the
footlights out again
And try to hide the mood
G
C
G
we're in
D
I'd not put on our old insulated grin
G
Tonight we'll kick the footlights out again

I make my living writing these songs
G
And sending them down to Hank Jr.
But I'm 41 years old
C
and I ain't got no place to
G
go when it's over
Tonight we'll kick the footlights out
D
And walk away without a curtain
