lyrics

I’ve been an old man longer than a young man

My voice sounds like two packs a day

Sore hands can’t play the guitar

Decades past my heyday

But I keep travelling down the road singing your favorite songs

It all hurts a little less when everybody sings along

Prop me up on stage well it might be my last show

If I die tonight I’ll get back on the radio back on the radio



At the stage door the groupies are all wrinkled

My limo is like a big black hearse

& the only action I get these days

Is a sponge bath from my Russian nurse

But I keep travelling down the road singing your favorite songs

It all hurts a little less when everybody sings along

Prop me up on stage well it might be my last show

If I die tonight I’ll get back on the radio back on the radio



The disc jockeys will all say they loved me

A big obit in the New York Times

& a shy kid with his first guitar

Will butcher my songs at an open mic

& when I get to heaven the angels will sing along

Such perfect harmonies but they’ll still get the lyrics wrong

Prop me up on stage well it might be my last show

If I die tonight I’ll get back on the radio

Prop me up on stage until the lights go low

When the fat lady sings I’ll get back on the radio

Back on the radio
