[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Last year we went [D]to London and Paris,
Texas
We went on a bus tour,
the great Texas [G]honky tonk tour
Here are some snapshots
about [D]life on the road.....

[Verse 2]
[D]
Let me tell you 'bout the life I lead
It ain't all it's cracked up to be
Of [G]what you been told,
'bout life on the [D]road[A]
Rolling round in a painted [G]bus,
Just so y'all can look at us

[Verse 3]
Life on the road
[D]You pack your clothes and
your shaving kit
Some extra socks and
those pants that fit
[G]Check 'em for holes,
life on the [D]road[A]
Everything you pack is black,
[G]washed it all upon your back
For life on the road
[D]

[Verse 4]
Climb on board the bus
and grab your bunk
One on the bottom is the one you want
[G]Less rock and roll as you
roll down the [D]road[A]
Plug John Wayne in [G]the VCR
Let the driver tell you where you are

[Interlude 1]
Life on the road
[D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
You get a bed and a [D]TV set,
you get an ashtray for your cigarette
You [G]get HBO, well that's
life on the [D]road[A]
Get one down on the bottom floor,
[G]Hang a do not disturb sign on the door
Life on the road
[D]

[Verse 6]
You get clean sheets and a wake-up call
call
Don't go up north in the spring and fall
But [G]not when it's cold,
that's no life on the [D]road[A]
Coffee black with pie a la mode
[G]That's what you want before the show

[Interlude 2]
Life on the road
[D][G][D]
[A][G][D]

[Verse 7]
Tonight we're playing that [D]high
school gym
They're all drunk before
I even begin
They're [G]hollering "Pissin' in the Wind"
Life on the road
[D]

[Verse 8]
[A]The local band opens up for us
[G]Now the PA's got a real big buzz
Life on the road
[D]

[Verse 9]
The good news is I get
to sing my songs
The bad news is they all sing along
And they're [G]singing wrong notes
Ahh, life on the road
[D]

[Verse 10]
[A]But if I stop, it won't be long
[G]Before they're singing
someone else's song

[Outro 1]
Life on the road
[D][G][D]
[G][D]
