I can close the curtain if I want to|I can shut the show down if I choose|No more singin, no more dancin, no more late night pony prancin|in these boots||I get so tired of the rat race|chasin my tail like a hound|I'll sing one last song for old time's sake|before I take|My final bow||I should buy my soul back from the devil|I'll just cut my losses with my dues|Turnin pages, making changes, steppin off all of the stages|where I sing the blues||I get so tired of the rat race|chasin my tail like a hound|I'll sing one last song for old time's sake|before I take|My final bow||I get so tired of the rat race|Chasin my tail like a hound|I'll sing one last song for old time's sake|before I take|My final bow|
