but i hide my aches and make the stage and try to kick the footlights out again

i throw my old guitar across the stage and lamar takes the ball
and the crowd goes nearly wild to see old nadine nearly fall
after 20 years of pickin’ , i’m alive and i’m kickin’ down some walls
but tonight i’ll kick the footlights out and walk away without no curtain call

A
mood that i’m really in might not put on my old instamatic grin aw ,
D
tonight i’m gonna kick some footlights out again

yeah , i live the kind of life most men only dream of
i make my livin’ writin’ songs , and singin’ them
now i’m 31 years old and i ain’t got no place to go when it’s all over
so i hide my aches , and make the stage and try to kick all the footlights out again
