[Verse 1]
B A E
Five guys in a station wagon barely held together
B A E
By a long string of honky tonks tonight and till forever
B A E B
Tarp on top keeps the rain off a pile of guitars

Well, we got fourteen hours till we?re hitting? Albuquerque
B A E
Floorboards covered up with tater chips and jerky
B A E B
But the tanks full, red bull is keeping? us a buzzin? so far
A
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more
[Chorus]
E A
When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
B
The girls start movin? cross the dance floor
E A
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
B
Rememberin? why we?re out here together
E A B
Forget we?re tired, forget the miles, look at us man, look at these smiles
C#m A E B
Hey, we work 22 hours a day, for two hours of play

Last night we tore it up down in Tucson, Arizona
B A E
Everybody loved us but the dang club owner
B A E B
He shorted us three hundred bucks we were fighting? mad, hell
B A E
But we found enough bills in the tip jar to get us
B A E
To the next night in Waco and barely out of Texas
B A E B
As bad as it gets, so far it ain?t gotten too bad
A
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more
