[Verse 1]
G# F# C#
Five guys in a station wagon barely held together
G# F# C#
By a long string of honky tonks tonight and till forever
G# F# C# G#
Tarp on top keeps the rain off a pile of guitars
G# F# C#
Well, we got fourteen hours till we?re hitting? Albuquerque
G# F# C#
Floorboards covered up with tater chips and jerky
G# F# C# G#
But the tanks full, red bull is keeping? us a buzzin? so far
F#
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more
[Chorus]
C# F#
When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
G#
The girls start movin? cross the dance floor
C# F#
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
G#
Rememberin? why we?re out here together
C# F# G#
Forget we?re tired, forget the miles, look at us man, look at these smiles
A#m F# C# G#
Hey, we work 22 hours a day, for two hours of play

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

When the lights go down and we hit the first chord

If we never make the big time, well me and my boys, will be just fine

When the lights go down and we hit the first chord

The girls start screaming? on the front row
C# F#
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
