Backstage Pass Songtext

Backstage Pass

There were egos and we-dos and think backs and do-dos
And that leaves and movie stars and David Allan Coe.
There was flatter and lace on every mind and every face
With the backstage-pass to the Willie Nelson show.

Kristofferson got an offer for a movie,
Promoters promised another deal or two.
Waylon got a call from his son shooter,
And he went home the minute he was trough.
I moved with the mob out in a mission
To the green room where you see who you can see.
There were has-beens, wouldbes and neverworths
Poppers, punks and millionaires and me.

And there were egos and we-dos and think backs and do-dos
And that leaves and movie stars and David Allan Coe.
There was flatter and lace on every mind and every face
With the backstage-pass to the Willie Nelson show.

Hell's Angels blocked the traffic to the building
In order for the beer truck to come trough.
And waiting in the wings to sing with Willie,
Were hopeful stars of glittering magnado?
There was s singer Willie knew back in the sixties,
Who once payed him 50 Dollars for a song.
There were women who once did and some, who still would,
I heard one say:?Did honey come along??

And there were egos and we-dos and think backs and do-dos
And that leaves and movie stars and David Allan Coe.
There was flatter and lace on every mind and every face
With the backstage-pass to the Willie Nelson show.
