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

Well, we got fourteen hours till we?re hitting? Albuquerque
D# C# G#
Floorboards covered up with tater chips and jerky
D# C# G# D#
But the tanks full, red bull is keeping? us a buzzin? so far
C#
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more
[Chorus]
G# C#
When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
D#
The girls start movin? cross the dance floor
G# C#
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
D#
Rememberin? why we?re out here together
G# C# D#
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
D# C# G#
Everybody loved us but the dang club owner

He shorted us three hundred bucks we were fighting? mad, hell
D# C# G#
But we found enough bills in the tip jar to get us
D# C# G#
To the next night in Waco and barely out of Texas
D# C# G# D#
As bad as it gets, so far it ain?t gotten too bad
C#
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more

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