INTO
GD/f# EmCGDsus4CGDsus4EmC
Well we ride into town in a beat up van, got our name on the side like rock n roll band
GDsus4EmC
Stearin’ out a cracked windshield with one headlight
GDsus4EmC
Got our guitars and were rearin’ to go, down to Larson City for a 3 hour show
GDsus4EmC
If we ain’t half bad I know there gonna treat us right
GDsus4EmC
Oh whatever made me wanna live like this, gotta get stoned just to get my fix
GDsus4EmC
Like it or not there ain’t no turnin’ round
GDsus4Em
LIke a fright train rollin’ out through the night got the pedal to the medal
C
honey hold on tight
GDsus4EmC
Gypsy life I know won’t let me down
(Chorus)
GDsus4EmC
See I was born to be a guitar picker guess I had a soft spot for the women and liquor
GDsus4EmC
It’s a wonder how I kept my sanity
GDsus4EmC
I played in every bar from here to Memphis drinkin’ like Hank and singin’ like Elvis
GDsus4EmC
Folks out west didn’t think awhole lotta me
GDsus4CG
Guess an Old Honky Tonkers bout all I’ll ever be
GDsus4EmC
Well I had a little woman back in San Anton times got rough and I moved on
GDsus4EmC
Left her cryin’ in a trailer by the county line
GDsus4Em
So I bought a guitar and I found me a band grew out my beard became a
C
travelin’ man
GDsus4EmC
Playin’ one night shows in any place we could find
GDsus4EmC
County fairs and micro clubs sang about whiskey, fast women and love
GDsus4EmC
And it’s all the same just as long as we can make a buck
GDsus4EmC
Well we play it fast and we play it so from Mustang Sally down to Curtis Loew
GDsus4EmC
And when the bottles fly we just smile and turn it up
(Chorus)
GDsus4EmC
See I was born to be a guitar picker guess I had a soft spot for the women and liquor
GDsus4EmC
It’s a wonder how I kept my sanity
GDsus4EmC
I played in every bar from here to Memphis drinkin’ like Hank and singin’ like Elvis
GDsus4EmC
Folks out west didn’t think awhole lotta me
GDsus4CG
Guess an Old Honky Tonkers bout all I’ll ever be
SOLO
GDsus4EmC
Well the night is young and the beer is cold the women are sweet and my lines are old
GDsus4EmC
But it all comes together when we get down and start to play
GDsus4
Guess there’s somethin’ bout the sound of a Gibson flat top
EmC
Crankin’ out loud just pickin’ it non stop
GDsus4EmC
Get on the floor and two step the night away
(Chorus)
GDsus4EmC
See I was born to be a guitar picker guess I had a soft spot for the women and liquor
GDsus4EmC
It’s a wonder how I kept my sanity
GDsus4EmC
I played in every bar from here to Memphis drinkin’ like Hank and singin’ like Elvis
GDsus4EmC
Folks out west didn’t think awhole lotta me
GDsus4CG
Guess an Old Honky Tonkers bout all I’ll ever be
