^EWell I was three days short of pullin out Kingsport I was ^Aheaded down to Houston town Had my ^Eguitar packed in a burlap sack For es ^F#cortin my country ^Bsound I ^Ebypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis By the ^Atime I got to Arkansas I'da ^Esold my car and that black guitar For ^Banything cool and ^Etall

So I ^Apulled up to a neon sign on ^Ehighway forty-nine Shut the ^Aengine down, took a look around and ^Bthen I stepped inside I ^Easked that bouncer where I was he said ^Ason your at Bills ^BHonky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken Laundromat bar and ^Egrill

^EWell I saw old Bill sittin at the bar With a ^Awaitress and change machine He was ^Ethrowin' out quarters to a waitress names Starr When I ^F#asked him if I could ^Bsing He said, ^Eson go ahead if you brought your guitar Then he ^Apointed to the back stage door He said, ^Ewe don't like original material Un ^Bless its been done be ^Efore

Well I ^Ahit the stage like a big wheeled train Told the ^Eboss man to play in 'C' I played the ^ATennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain And the ^Bone about the bird that's free That ^Elead guitar was like a chainsaw that ^Afiddle like a power drill at Bill's ^BHonky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken Laundromat bar and ^Egrill
