Well I was three days short of pullin out Kingsport
A augmentedA
I was headed down to Houston town

Had my guitar packed in a burlap sack

I bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis

By the time I got to Arkansas

I'da sold my car and that black guitar
BB E MajorE
For anything cool and tall
A augmentedA E MajorE
So I pulled up to a neon sign on highway forty-nine
A augmentedA BB
Shut the engine down, took a look around and then I stepped inside

With a waitress and change machine

He was throwin' out quarters to a waitress names Starr

When I asked him if I could sing
E MajorE
He said, son go ahead if you brought your guitar
A augmentedA
Then he pointed to the back stage door
E MajorE
He said, we don't like original material
BB E MajorE
Un less its been done be fore
A augmentedA
Well I hit the stage like a big wheeled train
E MajorE
Told the boss man to play in 'C'

And the one about the bird that's free

Well in the few short minutes I was up on stage
Watched a Biker punch a cowboy's face
E MajorE
With a perfect view I was witness to
F#F# BB
The des truction of the whole damn place
E MajorE
It was long necked stems and white fringed hems
A augmentedA
Flyin out of that dodge saloon
E MajorE
And that me chanical bull was a distant pull
BB E MajorE
To the safest place in the room
A augmentedA
Well that punch-drunk cowboy showed his wife
E MajorE
That his shirt was soaked in beer
A augmentedA
She said, calm down honey have another Lite
BB
Cause we can wash the shirt right here
E MajorE A augmentedA
Then the whole place stopped to thank me for bookin my show at Bill's
BB
Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken
E MajorE
Laundromat bar and grill
BB
At Bill's Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin,
barbecue chicken
