A Backstage Pass

Uma Entrada de Backstage

A Backstage Pass

Uma noite eu tive uma entrada para o backstage do Willie Nelson Show
One night I had a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show

Havia malucos e esquisitos e dingbats and dodoes
There were wackoes and weirdoes and dingbats and dodoes
E atletas e estrelas de filmes e David Allan Coe
And athletes and movie stars and David Allan Coe
Havia couro e rendas e cada raça minoritária
There was leather and lace and every minority race
Com uma entrada para o backstage do Willie Nelson Show
With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show

Kristofferson recebeu uma oferta por promotores de cinema fechou outro acordo ou dois
Kristofferson got an offer for a movie promoters closed another deal or two
Waylon recebeu um telefonema de seu filho Shooter e ele foi para casa no mesmo momento
Waylon got a call from his son Shooter and he went home the minute he was through
Eu me movi com a multidão no intervalo
I moved with the mob at intermission
Para a sala verde onde você vê quem você pode ver
To the green room where you see who you can see
Havia um iria e será e nunca foi
There were has-been's and would-be's and never-were's
Indigentes punks e milionários e eu
Paupers punks and millionaires and me

Havia malucos e esquisitos e dingbats and dodoes
There were wackoes and weirdoes and dingbats and dodoes
E atletas e estrelas de filmes e David Allan Coe
And athletes and movie stars and David Allan Coe
Havia couro e rendas e cada raça minoritária
There was leather and lace and every minority race
Com uma entrada para o backstage do Willie Nelson Show
With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show

Hells Angels bloqueou o tráfego para o prédio
Hells Angels blocked the traffic to the building
Para o caminhão de cerveja passar
In order for the beer truck to come through
E esperando nas asas para cantar com Willie eram estrelas de esperança de cintilação magnitude
And waitin' in the wings to sing with Willie were hopeful stars of flickering magnitude
Havia um cantor Willie sabia de volta na década de cinquenta
There was a singer Willie knew back in the fifties
Que uma vez pagou cinquenta dólares por uma música
Who once paid him fifty dollars for a song
Havia uma mulher que fez e uma que ainda faria
There were women who once did and some who still would
Eu ouvi uma pergunta que Connie viria
I heard one ask did Connie come along

Havia malucos e esquisitos e dingbats and dodoes
There were wackoes and weirdoes and dingbats and dodoes
E atletas e estrelas de filmes e David Allan Coe
And athletes and movie stars and David Allan Coe
Havia couro e rendas e cada raça minoritária
There was leather and lace and every minority race
Com uma entrada para o backstage do Willie Nelson Show
With a backstage pass to the Willie Nelson Show

Eu gostaria que você estivesse lá bem, talvez você estava
I wish you could've been there well maybe you were
