Twenty one days out on the road

the van brokedown in a foot of snow

we don't even know where the hell we are

I ain't had no sleep I ain't washed my clothes 

    F                    C          D
but everybody says it's a damn good show

 D
pay enough and the crowd is good 

     F                     C        D
but sometimes I'D rather be chopping wood
