BACKSTAGE PASS (TO A WILLIE NELSON SHOW)
SPOKEN:
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash One night I had a backstage pass To a Willie Nelson show 
 D                                   A
There were wackoes and weirdoes and dingbats and dodoes 
      E                            A          
And athletes and movie stars and David Allan Coe 
           D                          A
There was leather and lace and every minority race 
         E                                  A
With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson show 

A                                  E
Kristofferson got an offer for a movie 
                                  A
Promoters closed another deal or two 
                                D
Waylon got a call from his son Shooter 
    G                                E
And he went home the minute he was through 
A                          E
I moved with the mob at intermission 
                                             A
To the green room where you see who you can see 
                                          D
There were has-been's and would-be's and never-were's 
A                  E                A
Paupers, punks and millionaires and me 

CHORUS:
D                                   A
There were wackoes and weirdoes and dingbats and dodoes 
      E                            A          
And athletes and movie stars and David Allan Coe 
           D                          A
There was leather and lace and every minority race 
         E                                  A
With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson show

A                                           E
Hell's Angels blocked the traffic to the building 
                                      A
In order for the beer truck to come through 
                                        D
And waitin' in the wings to sing with Willie 
       G                            E
Were hopeful stars of flickering magnitude 
A                                       E
There was a singer Willie knew back in the fifties 
                                       A
Who once paid him fifty dollars for a song 
                                             D
There were women who once did and some who still would 
A                      E            A
I heard one ask, "Did Connie come along?" 
D                                   A
There were wackoes and weirdoes and dingbats and dodoes 
      E                            A          
And athletes and movie stars and David Allan Coe 
           D                          A
There was leather and lace and every minority race 
         E                                  A
With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson show
I wish, you could've been there But maybe you were
