E Well I was three days short of pullin out Bridgeport
I was A headed down to Houston town
Had my E guitar packed in a burlap sack
For es F# cortin my country B sound
I E bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis
By the A time I got to Arkansas
Id-a E sold my car and this black guitar
For B anything cool and E tall
So I A pulled up to a neon sign on E highway forty-nine
Shut the A engine down, took a look around and B then I stepped inside
I E asked that bouncer where I was he said A son your at Bills
B Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken
Laundromat bar and E grill
E Well I saw old Bill sittin at the bar
With a A waitress and change machine
He was E dolin out quarters to a waitress names Starr
When I F# asked him if I could B sing
He said, E son go ahead if you brought your guitar
Then he A pointed to the back stage door
He said, E we don't like original material
Un B less its been done be E fore
Well I A hit the stage like a big wheeled train
Told the E crowd I played the seats
I played the A Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain
And the B one about the pearly street
That E lead guitar was like a chain saw that A fiddle like a power drill
at Bill's
B Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken
Laundromat bar and E grill
Lead
E Well in the few short minutes I was up on stage
Lookin A back at country cowboys face
With a E perfect view I was witness to
The des F# truction of the whole damn B place
It was E long necked hims and white fringed hems
Flyin A out of that dodge saloon
And that me E chanical bull was a Houston pull
To the B safest place in the E room
Well a A punch-drunk cowboy showed his wife
That his E shirt was soaked in beer
She said, A calm down honey have another lite
Cause we can B wash the shirt right here
Then the E whole place stopped to thank me for Abookin my show at Bill's
B Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin, barbecue chicken
Laundromat bar and E grill
At Bill's B Honky tonk pickin, line dance kickin, razor back stickin,
barbecue chicken
Laundromat bar and E grill
