[Intro] D [Verse]
  D                          G             D 
I live the kind of life that most men only dream of 

  D                            G                 D 
I make my livin' writin' these songs and singin' them 

        D                                G                            D 
Now I'm thirty one years old and I ain't got no place to go when it's all over 

      D                                    A                              D 
But I hide my aches and make the stage and try to kick the footlights out again 

  D                              G                         D
I throw my old guitar across the stage and Lamar takes the ball 

        D                         G                     D
And the crowd goes nearly wild to see old Nadine nearly fall 

      D                            G                               D
After twenty years of pickin', I'm alive and I'm kickin' down some walls (High ones Merle)

      D                                      A                            D
But tonight I'll kick the footlights out and walk away without no curtain call 
[Chorus]
         G
Yeah, tonight I'll kick the footlights out again

    G                                    A
And try to hide the mood that I'm really in

          A
Might not put on my old instamatic grin

       A                                        D
Aww, tonight I'm gonna kick some footlights out again
[Solo] G G G A A A A D [Verse]
        D
Yeah, I live the kind of life that most men only dream of 

  D                      G                  D
I make my livin' writin' songs, and singin' them 

        D                                G                           D  
Now I'm thirty one years old and I ain't got a place to go when it's all over 

     D                                     A                                   D             
So I hide my aches, and make the stage and try to kick all the footlights out again
[Chorus]
         G
Yeah, tonight I'll kick the footlights out again

    G                                    A
Not try to hide the mood that I'm really in

          A
Might not put on my old instamatic grin

       A                                    D
Aww, tonight I'll kick some footlights out again
[Outro] D
