Em                         A
I hear that tip jars got a jingle
                     C/G           G
Cause we ain't got a single on the radio
Em                         A
We make 'em dance wherever we go
                 C/G                     D
Tryin' to turn a nickel to solid country gold

G
It goes "T" for Texas and Tennessee
D
We got miles to cover and places to be
Em
The highways the only kind of life for me 
F                        C/G
Sure ain't in it for the money
 
C/G                      G  F  C/G
