[Verse 1]
Five Aguys in a Gstation wagon Dbarely held together
By a Along string of Ghonky tonks tDonight and till forever
ATarp on tGop keeps the raiDn off a pile of Aguitars
Well, we got fAourteen hGours till we?re hDitting? Albuquerque
AFloorboards cGovered up with Dtater chips and jerky
But the tAanks full, Gred bull is Dkeeping? us a buzzin? so Afar
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t Gtake it no more
[Chorus]
When the Dlights go down and we Ghit the first chord
The gAirls start movin? cross the dance floor
Well it Dsounds real good and Gfeels even better
ARememberin? why we?re out here together
DForget we?re tired, fGorget the miles, lAook at us man, look at these smiles
BmHey, we work G22 hours a Dday, Afor two hours of play

He shAorted us thGree hundred Dbucks we were fightingA? mad, hell
But we Afound enough biGlls in the tDip jar to get us
To the Anext night in GWaco and bDarely out of Texas
As Abad as it gGets, so fDar it ain?t gotten too Abad
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t tGake it no more
[Chorus]
