 A
Get off the bus

     A
The band and the boys and me

 A
Yesterday was Denver

               A
Tonight, it's Memphis, Tennessee

 D
Runnin' off cocaine

   D
A couple hours of sleep

 A
Can't remember all the halls

     A
But they look the same to me

      E
Just out here making a living

           E
With this six-string in my hand

         G            D                   A

Then: G G D D A VERSE:
 A
Play just about anywhere

  A
Throw it down on a map

   A
A different scene, the same ol' jeans

     A
The same ol' pussycats

 D
Tell Mama I miss her

     D                C C B B A
And I'll be back one day

 A
And I don't think ol' Waylon Jennings

         A
Woulda' even done it this way

      E
Just out here, making a living

                E
Tryna' pay the record company man

         G            D                   A

 D                          A
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be

 A
Met a girl in Tallahassee

        A
Said, "Boy, can I please ya?"

A
We boned all night long

        A
Then I woke up with amnesia

  E                                       E
Said, "Hey baby, what's your name?, I'll call you if I can

              G            D                   A
But I'm in a 21st century honky tonk American band"
