Verse 1:
 
C#                     F#            C#
I live the kinda life  most men only dream of
                         G#7                C#
I make my livin' writin' songs  and singin' them
                                        F#                           C#
But I'm forty-one years old and I ain't got no place to go when it's over
 
But I'll hide my age and make the stage
    G#7                            C#
And try to kick the footlights out again
 
 
Verse 2:
 
                                F#                                   C#
I throw my old guitar across the stage and then my bass-man takes the ball
                          G#7                          C#
And the crowd goes nearly wild to see my guitar nearly fall
                                    F#                               C#
After twenty years of pickin' we're still alive and kickin' down the wall
                                         G#7                         C#
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out and walk away without a curtain call

Chorus:
 
  F#
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out again
                                    C#
And try to hide the mood I'm really in
                             G#7
And put on my old instamatic grin
                                     C#
Tonight I'll kick the footlights out again
 
 
Verse 3:
 
C#                     F#            C#
I live the kinda life  most men only dream of
                         G#7                C#
I make my livin' writin' songs  and singin' them
                                        F#                           C#
But I'm forty-one years old and I ain't got no place to go when it's over
 
But I'll hide my age and make the stage
    G#7                            C#
And try to kick the footlights out again
