VERSE:
 A
Get off the bus
   A
The band and the boys and me
 A
Yesterday was Denver
        A
Tonight, it`s Memphis, Tennessee
 D
Runnin` off cocaine
  D
A couple hours of sleep
 A
Can`t remember all the halls
   A
But they look the same to me
   E
Just out here making a living
      E
With this six-string in my hand
     G      D          A
In this 21st century honky tonk American band

VERSE:
 A
Play just about anywhere
 A
Throw it down on a map
  A
A different scene, the same ol` jeans
   A
The same ol` pussycats
 D
Tell Mama I miss her
   D        C C B B A
And I`ll be back one day
 A
And I don`t think ol` Waylon Jennings
     A
Woulda` even done it this way
   E
Just out here, making a living
        E
Tryna` pay the record company man
     G      D          A
In this 21st century honky tonk American band

Met a girl in Tallahassee
    A
Said, `Boy, can I please ya?`
A
We boned all night long
    A
Then I woke up with amnesia
 E                    E
Said, `Hey baby, what`s your name?, I`ll call you if I can
       G      D          A
But I`m in a 21st century honky tonk American band`
