1ST: My g ^E randmother owned a night club
O ^A n the Arkansas-Oklahoma li ^E ne
Mama pu ^B7 t me on a Greyhound
And I went to ^A stay with her in the summertime ^B7
I'd box up ^E those empty long-necks
And stack 'em in ^A the back and make a hand ^E
Then at night she ^B7 'd let me sneak out
Of the kitchen and let me sit in ^A with the band ^E
2nd Yes, ^E I have sacks and quarterbacks
And broke my ^A share of bones along the way ^E
I knew it w ^B7 ouldn't last forever
Semi-pro alwa ^A ys means semi-payed ^B7
I started ^E climbing drilling rigs
I'm oil fiel ^A d trash and proud as I can be, yeah ^E
Then I took my ^B7 songs and guitar
And sang 'em for a ^A man from Tennessee ^E
Chorus: I've play ^E ed every beer joint tavern
From New York ^A City out to Pasadena ^E

I ^A n Afghanistan and Baghd ^E ad City too
I ^B7 am a red, white and blue blooded
Gradu ^A ate of Honkytonk ^E U

H ^A alf empty in my optim ^B7 istic mind
I'll ^E still have a song to sing
A ^A nd a ^E band to turn it up and play it loud
