Bilingual
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Suffered so much for what he did
Gave this plowboy his fortune and fame
Since that day he ain't been the same
See the man with the stage fright
Just standing up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wanna start all over again
I got firewater rain on my brain
Doctor warned me that I'd catch a death
Said you can fake it in your disguise
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes
See the man with the stage fright
Just standing up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wanna start all over again
Now when he says that he's afraid
Take him at his word
At four times that the plowboy's paid
He gets to sing just like a bird
My brow is sweating and my mouth gets dry
Fancy people won't identify
Moment of truth is fate at hand
Just one more night where he can stand
See the man with the stage fright
Just standing up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wanna start all over again
Now please don't make him stop
No, no
Just make him come along
Oh, oh, oh
Start all over again
