Sean Forbes - 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
