Hayes Carll - Down The Road Tonight  
Capo 2
Intro:  A  
Verse 1: 
AThrift store cowboys, five and dime junkies 
ARed dirt plowboys, asphalt monkeys 
DHoly rollers, signal callers 
ATruck stop angels, backstreet brawlers 
AVan Zandt groupies, guitar slingers 
AHallelujah gospel singers 
DFreight-train mamas, pistol shooters 
AMy first girlfriend works at Hooters 
EBeans and biscuits in my cupboard 
DLiten to Ray Wylie Hubbard 
AAll gone dDown on the road toAnight 
Verse 2: 
Drunken angels, blacktop racers 
Holy rollers, whiskey chasers 
Lonestar drinkers, midnight ramblers 
Dirt road divas, highway gamblers 
Moonshine mamas, panty droppers 
Dhali Llamas, ol' pill poppers 
High-school heroes, back row preachers 
Pool hall hustlers, tantric teachers 
Teenage cuties politickin' 
Harry Krishna feed me chicken 
All gone down the road tonight 
Verse 3: 
Bluejean babies, old heartbreakers 
Had a party with some Quakers 
Heartworn highways, country singers 
Radio's full old right-wingers 
Session players, duct tape dealers 
Outlaw country, hubcap stealers 
Ain't no money in my wallet 
Broke again is what they call it 
My Grandmother's name was Spiller 
Michael Jackson peaked at Thriller 
All gone down the road tonight 
Solo:    A     D      A      E      D   A  
Verse 4: 
Jukebox gypsies, mustang sally's 
Don't go walkin' down dark alleys 
Needle pushers, horn rimmed glasses 
Rhinestone jumpsuit, backstage passes 
Blue plate specials, Luanne platters 
Japanese is all that matters 
Broken arrows, gulf coast kickers 
"Who's your daddy?" bumper stickers 
Dah dah dah dah dah dah dahhh 
Ha-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah 
Ah yeah, aw uh duntdunt 
Outro: A  (Spoken: "I'm outta words, people...that's all I got!  Americana  
woman...hip shake with me baby!")
