"Footlights" was written and recorded by Merle Haggard in 1979. The song was inspired by Merle observing Johnny Cash in his early years and kicking out the footlights on the stage, while likely intoxicated. Merle used the experience, poetically, to reflect how a performer feels night after night attempting to get excited about his show.
