[Verse 1]
     A         G             D
Five guys in a station wagon barely 
held together
     A              G         
By a long string of honky tonks 
   D
tonight and till forever
A        G               D      
Tarp on top keeps the rain off a
         A
 pile of guitars
              A        G       
Well, we got fourteen hours till 
         D
we?re hitting? Albuquerque
A            G              D
Floorboards covered up with tater 
chips and jerky
         A          G         
But the tanks full, red bull is 
  D                        A
keeping? us a buzzin? so far
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t 
G
take it no more

[Chorus]
         D                     G
When the lights go down and we hit 
the first chord
     A
The girls start movin? cross the 
dance floor
        D                    G
Well it sounds real good and feels 
even better
A
Rememberin? why we?re out here 
together
D                    G      
Forget we?re tired, forget the 
           A
miles, look at us man, look at these
 smiles

[Verse 2]
     A                G          
Last night we tore it up down in 
D
Tucson, Arizona
     A          G           D
Everybody loved us but the dang club
 owner
     A          G           D    
He shorted us three hundred bucks
                 A
 we were fighting? mad, hell
       A              G           
But we found enough bills in the tip
D
 jar to get us
       A             G         D
To the next night in Waco and barely
 out of Texas
   A          G        D         
As bad as it gets, so far it 
             A
ain?t gotten too bad
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t 
 G
take it no more

[Chorus]
         D                     G
When the lights go down and we hit 
the first chord
     A
The girls start movin? cross the 
dance floor
        D                    G
Well it sounds real good and feels 
even better
A
Rememberin? why we?re out here 
together
D                    G      
Forget we?re tired, forget the 
           A

Bm                   G           
If we never make the big time, 
   D                       A
well me and my boys, will be just 
fine

[Chorus]
         D                     G
When the lights go down and we hit 
the first chord
     A
The girls start screaming? on the 
front row
        D                    G
Well it sounds real good and feels 
even better
A
Rememberin? why we?re out here
