B                                    C#7
The battered bus pulls into one more nameless little town
   F#7                               B
It seems like only minutes since he laid his body down
                            C#7
Silently he wonders if it's worth the price he pays
F#7                          B
Twenty towns in only thirty days
                                  C#7
The jug of last night's coffee is bitter now and cold
F#7                                   B
And the mirror must be lying does he really look that old
                                     C#7
There's a pint of vodka somewhere to make it all alright
F#7                                    B
Cause the King of Country Music sings tonight
                               E
He's the King of Country Music and he steps out on the stage
    C#7                               F#7
The makeup and the amber lights have covered up the age
        E                            B                 C#7
And the screaming fans acknowledge a hit from way back when
         F#7                         B
He's the King of Country Music once again
                            C#7
Another town behind him and back out on the road
F#7                                B
How much longer can the old bones bear the heavy load
                             C#7
His kids don't dig his music now they're into solid rock
F#7                                        B
And he wishes he could just turn back the clock
                                    C#7
His mind drifts back in memories to nineteen forty-two
F#7                                     B
That was the year his wedding band and guitar were both new
                                       C#7
He puts the vodka bottle down cause he hurts when he gets tight
F#7                                  B
And the King of Country Music sings tonight
                                   E
He's the King of Country Music and they're tapping on his door
C#7                             F#7
Outside the nameless faces are begging for one more
        E                            B                 C#7
And the screaming fans acknowledge a hit from way back when
         F#7                         B
He's the King of Country Music once again
                               E
He's the King of Country Music and he steps out on the stage
    C#7                               F#7
The makeup and the amber lights have covered up the age
        E                            B                 C#7
And the screaming fans acknowledge a hit from way back when
         F#7                         B
He's the King of Country Music once again
