Backstage Lyrics

I really dislike the glamour boy stuff

Would rather be spreading the love

Tucked away eating stale sandwiches

Thinking of home, it's comfort and advantages

Sleeping in my own bed, being with Jo

On the other hand, this is what I worked for

Getting in on the ground floor at 54

In a business like a swinging door

The dues have been minimal

Started out getting picked up at airports by chauffeur's

More than lucky that's for sure

Backstage

It's kinda lonely

Backstage

New York or California

Backstage

It's almost show time

Backstage

I hate people who cry about the road

Just because I don't, I miss my area code

Wife at home, carrying the load

Freeways, highways, hills, and horns

Are friends I've come to know

Every route I try to explore

Love learning, someday I will close the door

But complain

Sometimes I wane

But the mission remains the same

Got music in my veins

Backstage

It's kinda lonely

Backstage

New York or California

Backstage

It's almost show time

Backstage

I've been keeping a diary in my head

Last thing I would say, this is something I dread

Never thought this would be widespread

Everything's in motion, caused a commotion

Nothing for granted, no preconceived notion

I'll remain outspoken for your support and promotion

Even love the anti's for being ferocious

Even though back here it can be lonesome

I appreciate the love and devotion

Backstage

It's kinda lonely

Backstage

New York or California

Backstage

It's almost show time

Backstage

In the early days, I had someone tell me

I need to play the star

It's not easy for me

Never liked the audience too far

It's kinda awkward, but I'm still honored

To be called the godfather

Though I really didn't initiate

More like popularized

There were many before me who should be notarized

Trust me I can verify

To me it's strange being glorified

But sitting back here it's lonely

But to really complain, I'd have to lie

Backstage

It's kinda lonely

Backstage

New York or California

Backstage

It's almost show time

Backstage

Backstage

It's kinda lonely

Backstage

New York or California

Backstage

It's almost show time

Backstage
