Intro
[F]
Verse
[F]Well I was 3 days short of pulling out of Kingsport
I was [Bb]headed down to Houston [F]town
Had my [F]guitar packed in a burlap sack
For [G]exploitin' my country [C]sound
I [F]bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis
By the [Bb]time I got to [F]Arkansas
I'd a [F]sold my car and that black guitar
For [C]anything cool and [F]tall
Pre-Chorus
Well I [Bb]pulled up to a neon sign on [F]highway 49
Shut the [Bb]engine down, took a look around
[C]Then I stepped inside
Chorus
I [F]asked that bouncer where I was
He said, [Bb]son yer at Bill's
[C]Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin'
Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
Laundromat Bar and [F]Grill
Verse
Well I [F]found old Bill sittin at the bar
With a [Bb]pistol and a change [F]machine
He was [F]dolin' out quarters to a waitress named Starr
When I [G]asked him if I could [C]sing
He said, [F]son go ahead if you brought yer guitar
Then he [Bb]pointed to the backstage [F]door
Said, [F]we don't allow original material
[C]'Less it's been done [F]before
Pre-Chorus
Well I [Bb]hit the stage like a big mule train
Told the [F]house band to play it in C
I sang the [Bb]Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain
And the [C]one about the bird that's free
Chorus
[F]Lead guitar was like a chainsaw
That [Bb]fiddle like a power drill
At Bill's [C]honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin'
Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
Laundromat Bar and [F]Grill
Instrumental
[F] [Bb] [C] [C] [F]
Verse
Well in the [F]10 short minutes I was up on stage
Watched a [Bb]biker punch a cowboys [F]face
And with a [F]perfect view I was wittness to
The [G]destruction of the whole dang [C]place
It was [F]long neck stems and white fringed hems
Flying [Bb]out of that dark [F]saloon
And that [F]mechanical bull was reduced in full
To the [C]safest place in the [F]room
Pre-Chorus
That [Bb]punched drunk cowboy showed his wife
That his [F]shirt was soaked with beer
She said, [Bb]calm down honey, have another light
'Cause we can [C]wash yer shirt right here
Chorus
Then the [F]whole place stopped to thank me
For [Bb]bookin' my show at Bill's
[C]Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin'
Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
Laundromat Bar and [F]Grill
