A Backstage Pass |
There were wackoes and weirdoes and dingbats and dodoes |
And athletes and movie stars and David Allan Coe |
There was leather and lace and every minority race |
With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show |
Kristofferson got an offer for a movie promoters closed another deal or two |
Waylon got a call from his son Shooter and he went home the minute he was |
through |
I moved with the mob at intermission |
To the green room where you see who you can see |
There were has-been's and would-be's and never-were's |
Paupers punks and millionaires and me |
And there were wackoes… |
Hells Angels blocked the traffic to the building |
In order for the beer truck to come through |
And waitin' in the wings to sing with Willie were hopeful stars of flickering |
magnitude |
There was a singer Willie knew back in the fifties |
Who once paid him fifty dollars for a song |
There were women who once did and some who still would |
I heard one ask did Connie come along |
And there were wackoes… |
I wish you could’ve been there well maybe you were |
