A                                             A7
How come it's hotter than Hades
D                                      A
Last year was nowhere like this
A       D
Left a bottle inside
D            A
Of my car overnight
 B                                   B7
And it bout burnt a hole in my lip

E

 A                                   A7
My automobile's got me crazy
 D                                  B
It'll work for awhile and then quit
 D
They said it sounds like it's taking
 A
The shape of it's driver
 E                                    A
And I wish you was wrong but it fits


Chorus:
A                                                       A7

 D                                                E
How's your life and how's your wife and all the worn out work they
do
 A
Tell me any tall tale on your mind
 D
Just roll the ball and let it ride
 E                                           A
Cuz all we need tonight is some old news

Verse 2:
A                                        A7
Well I met the finest of ladies
A           D                                  A
Tending bar near the place that I lived
 D                                         A
She likes whiskey and shine-er, but she roots for the niners
 B            B7                  E
So I'm outta luck once again
 A                                     A7
So if Tony had played in the '80s
 D                                 B   B7
Tween steroids and locker room sex
 D                                  A
He'd be running by plumbers and stacking up numbers
 E                               A
That old Joe Montana never sniffed


Chorus:
A                                                       A7
We got better to Do then offer friendly "How are yous"

Verse 3: (spoken)
A
My phone's been ringing on and on and on again all night
D                                  A
Local numbers, no 800s, only adult guys
 D                                              A
And I finally got one not to just hang up and stay on the line
B                                                                   E
Long enough to ask him how the hell he got this number and why
 A
And he said pardon sir I was really just looking for a good time
 D                                                               B
And that got my head spinning thinking that I was guilty of a crime
 D                                              A
'Til later in the bathroom when I was zipping up my levi's
 E                                                                                  A
And I realized the number on the side of the stall there was mine
