Stage Fright

Stage Fright - Rick Danko Band

Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid

Who suffered so much for what he did

They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame

Since that day he ain't been the same

See the man with the stage fright

Just standin' up there to give it all his might

He got caught in the spotlight

When we get to the end

He wants to start all over again

I've got fire water right on my breath

And the doctor warned me I might catch a death

Said you can make it in your disguise

Just never show the fear that's in your eyes

See the man with the stage fright

Standin' up there just give it all his might

He got caught in the spotlight

But when we get to the end

He wants to start all over again

When he says that he's afraid

Would take him at his word

For the price that the poor boy has paid

He gets to sing just like a bird oh ooh ooh ooh

Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry

Fancy people go driftin' by

The moment of truth well is right at hand

Well one more nightmare you can stand

See the man with the stage fright

Just standin' up there to give it all his might

He got caught in the spotlight

When we get to the end

He wants to start all over again

I say please don't make him stop

Let him take it from the top

Let him start all over again
