VERSE:
 A
Get off the bus
     A
The band and the boys and me
 A
Yesterday was Denver
               A
Tonight, it`s Memphis, Tennessee
 D
Runnin` off cocaine
   D
A couple hours of sleep
 A
Can`t remember all the halls
     A
But they look the same to me
      E
Just out here making a living
           E
With this six-string in my hand
         G            D                   A

VERSE:
 A
Play just about anywhere
  A
Throw it down on a map
   A
A different scene, the same ol` jeans
     A
The same ol` pussycats
 D
Tell Mama I miss her
     D                C C B B A
And I`ll be back one day
 A
And I don`t think ol` Waylon Jennings
         A
Woulda` even done it this way
      E
Just out here, making a living
                E
Tryna` pay the record company man
         G            D                   A

 D                          A
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be

VERSE:
 A
Met a girl in Tallahassee
        A
Said, `Boy, can I please ya?`
A
We boned all night long
        A
Then I woke up with amnesia
  E                                       E
Said, `Hey baby, what`s your name?, I`ll call you if I can
              G            D                   A
But I`m in a 21st century honky tonk American band`
