Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][F][C]
[G][F][G][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Get off the bus,
[Gm]the band and the boys and [G]me
Yesterday was Denver,
tonight it's Memphis, Tennessee
[C]Runnin' off cocaine,
a couple hours of sleep
[Gm]Can't remember all the h[G]all
s 'cause they look the same to me
Just [D]out here making a living with
this six-string in in my hand
[F]In this 21st Centur[C]y honky-tonk
[G]American [F]band[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Play just about any[Gm]where,
draw it down on a map
A different scene, the same ol' [G]jeans,
the same ol' [Gm]pussycats[C]
Tell Mama I miss her
and I'll be back one [A]day
[G]I don't think ol' Waylon Jennings
would've even done it this way
Just [D]out here making a living,
tryna pay the record company man
In [F]this 21st [C]Century honky-tonk
[G]American band

[Verse 3]
And the [Em]wheels keep [C]rolling on and [G]on
And I [Em]hear them [C]moaning
a lonesome [D]song
[C]Ever since Hank [F]sang to me,
[G]I knew [Em]I was bor[G]n to be
[D]In a 21st [F]Century honky-tonk
[C]American [G]ban[F]d[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]There's a girl in Tal[Gm]lahassee,
[G]said, "Boy, can I please ya?"
We boned all night long,
then I woke up with amnesia
[D]Said, "Hey baby, what's your name?,
I'll call you if I can
But I'm [F]in a 21st [C]Century
honky-tonk [G]American band"

[Verse 5]
And the [Em]wheels keep [C]rolling on and [G]on
And I [Em]hear them [C]moaning
a lonesome [D]song
[C]Ever since Hank [F]sang to me,
[G]I knew I was born to be
[D]In a 21st [F]Century honky-tonk
[C]American [G]band

[Verse 6]
(Let's go [G]to work,
[Em][A][D][Em]
[A]boy[Em]s!) ([A]Ye[F]ah!)

[Verse 7]
And I feel I'm [C]goin' [F]on
I could sure use me a [C]sunny [F]day
And I know I've been away [C]too long
'Cause I'm [D]the same
But they've [G]all changed

[Outro 1]
