[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I was three days short of
pulling out of
Kingsport, I was [G]headed down to
Houston [D]town.
Had my guitar packed in a burlap sack
for exploiting [A]my country sound.
I by[D]passed
Jackson, bypassed
Memphis
By the [G]time I got to
[D]Arkansas
I'd have sold my car and that black guitar
For [A]anything cool and [D]tall
So I [G]pulled up to a neon sign
On
[D]Highway 49
Shut the [G]en gine down,
took a look around
[A]Then I stepped inside
I [D]asked that bouncer where I was
He said, [G]son, you're at
Bill's
[A]Honky -tonk pickin',
line dance kickin'
Razorback stickin',
barbecue chicken
Laundromat bar and [D]grill
Well, I found old
Bill sittin' at the bar
With a [G]pistol and a change machine
[D]He was goin' out of quarters
to a waitress named
Star
When I [A]asked him if I could sing
He said, [D]son,
go ahead if you brought your guitar
Then he [G]pointed to the backstage door
[D]He said, we don't like
original material
[A]Unless it's been done [D]before
Well, I [G]hit the stage like a big mill train
Told the [D]houseman to play and sing
I sang the
[G]Tennessee
Waltz,
Kentucky
Rain, and the [A]one about the 33
The [D]lead guitar was like a chainsaw,
that [G]bit like a power drill
The
Beatles, [A]honky -tonk picking,
line dance kicking
Razorback sticking, barbecue chicken,
laundromat, bar and [D]grill[G][A][D]
In the ten short minutes I
was up on stage
Watched a [G]biker punch a cowboy's face
[D]And with a perfect view I was witness to
The destruc[A]tion of the whole dang place
It was [D]long -necked stems and
white -fringed hems
Flying [G]out of that dark sa[D]loon
And that mechanical pull was reduced in
full to the [A]safest place in the [D]room
And that [G]punch -drunk cowboy showed his
wife that his [D]shirt was soaked in beer
She said, [G]calm down honey, have another life,
cause we can [A]wash your shirt right here
Then the [D]whole place stopped to thank
me for book[G]ing my short bill

[Verse 2]
[A]Honky tonk picking,

[Verse 3]
line dance kicking
[A]Razorback sticking,
barbecue chicken

[Verse 4]
[A]Laundromat, bar and grill
[D]

[Verse 5]
At
Bill's, [A]honky tonk picking,

[Verse 6]
line dance kicking
[A]Razorback sticking,
barbecue chicken

[Verse 7]
[A]Laundromat, bar and [D]grill[D]
You
