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