"Backstage Pass" lyrics - MCGUINN, CLARK & HILLMAN

Ten feet away from the Judgement Day
Ten feet away from the runway
Tell your girlfriend there's a party in town
And she can come and she can stay.

I've been a hotel room and a day on the road
I've been a stone for every hole in the road
Hey-O, there's a stage for every star in the show
And there's a star for every stage.

Ten feet away from the stage she can stand
Hey-O, do you know if she'll think that it's grand?
Ten feet away she has the stage in her hands
Hey-O, does she know that she's a star in the show?
Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O.

There was a girl in California, they say
She sold her ticket to ride and then she gave it away
She only wanted someone coming her way
Never the one coming to stay.

Ten feet away from the stage she can stand
Hey-O, do you know if she'll think that it's grand?
Ten feet away she has the stage in her hands
Hey-O, does she know that she's a star in the show?
Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O
Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O
Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O.

Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O
Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O
Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O (Hey-O) Hey-O.
