Footlights Chords by Hank Williams Jr

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I _ _
[G] _ [D] live the kind of life that [G] most men _ [D] only dream of. _ _ _ _
I make my living [G] writing these songs and [D] singing them. _ _ _ _
Now I'm thirty-one years old and [G] I ain't got no place to go [D] when it's all over. _ _ _ _
But I hide my aches and make the [A] stage and try to kick the footlights [D] out again. _ _ _ _ _
I throw my old guitar [G] across the stage and Lamar [D] takes the ball. _ _ _ _ _
And the crowd goes nearly [G] wild to see old Nadine [D] nearly fall. _ _ _ _ _
After twenty years of picking, [G] I'm alive and kicking [D] down some walls.
Well, I was, Merle. _
But tonight I'll kick the footlights [A] out and walk away without no [D] curtain call. _ _ _ _
Yeah, [G] tonight I'll kick the footlights out again and try to hide the mood that I'm [A] really in.
I might not put on my old Instamatic grin. _
Oh, tonight I'm gonna kick some [D] footlights out again. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _
[Em] _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Yeah, I live the kind of life [G] that most men [D] only dream of.
_ _ _ I make my living [G] writing _ songs and [D] singing them. _
_ _ _ _ Now I'm thirty-one years old and [G] I ain't got no place to go [D] when it's all over.
_ _ _ _ So I hide my aches and make the [A] stage and try to kick all the footlights [D] out again. _
_ _ _ _ [G] Oh, tonight I'll kick the footlights out again and _ not try to hide the mood that I'm really [A] in.
_ I might not put on my old Instamatic grin.
Oh, tonight I'll kick some footlights [D] out again. _ _ _ _ _ _
