_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ I _ _ [A] _
live the _ kind of life _ [D] _
_ _ _ most men [A] _
only dream of. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I make my living [E] _ writing songs _ _ _ and _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ singing them. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But I'm 41 years old.
[D] I ain't got no place to go _ _ [A] _ when it's over.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So I'll hide my age and make the stage.
[E] _ Try to kick the footlights [A] out again. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [A] I'll throw my old guitar across [D] the stage and watch my bass man [A] take the ball. _
_ _ And _ _ _ _ _ _ the crowd goes [E] nearly _ wild.
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
_ See my guitar _ [A] nearly fall. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ After 20 _ years of picking, _ [D] we're still alive and kicking down [A]
the wall. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Tonight we'll kick the footlights [E] out and walk away without a [A] _
curtain call. _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D]
Tonight we'll kick the footlights out _ again. _ _ _ _ _
Try to hide the mood [A] we're really in.
_ _ Might not put on our only show, _ [E] Maddie Grant.
_ _ _ _ Tonight _ we'll kick the _ footlights [A] out again.
