verse 1:
D
Well, I think I'm in Kansas, maybe Missouri. The truth is I really ain't sure.
But I've been in this van going on fifteen hours. My back and my butt, God they hurt.
G D
There's a sign up ahead, flashing in red. From Nashville, appearing tonight.
A D
It's always the same, they misspell my name. Still I love the honky-tonk life.
verse 2:
D
Hey Soir, grab the guitars, and I'll get the speakers. Could somebody plug in my amp.
If we hurry they'll feed us, before we go on and I'll work it out with the man.
G D
Sometimes the beer's free and sometimes it's half price and sometimes there's no beer at all.
A D
But me and the boys'll be making some noise either way 'til they give that last call.
Chorus:
