Five guys in a station wagon barely held together

By a long string of honky tonks tonight and till forever

But the tanks full, red bull is keeping? us a buzzin? so far

Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more
[Chorus]
A D
When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
E
The girls start movin? cross the dance floor
A D
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
E
Rememberin? why we?re out here together
A D E
Forget we?re tired, forget the miles, look at us man, look at these smiles

Last night we tore it up down in Tucson, Arizona

Everybody loved us but the dang club owner

He shorted us three hundred bucks we were fighting? mad, hell

But we found enough bills in the tip jar to get us
E D A
To the next night in Waco and barely out of Texas
E D A E
As bad as it gets, so far it ain?t gotten too bad

Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more
