Intro: F 

Verse: 
 F 
Well I was 3 days short of pulling out of Kingsport 
       Bb                     F 
I was headed down to Houston town 

        F 
Had my guitar packed in a burlap sack 
       G                    C 
For exploitin' my country sound 

   F 
I bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis 
        Bb                 F 
By the time I got to Arkansas 

       F 
I'd a sold my car and that black guitar 
     C                 F 
For anything cool and tall 


Pre-Chorus 
        Bb                          F 
Well I pulled up to a neon sign on highway 49 
         Bb 
Shut the engine down, took a look around 
 C 
Then I stepped inside 


   F 
I asked that bouncer where I was 
          Bb 
He said, son yer at Bill's 
 C 
Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin' 

Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken 
                     F

Verse: 
        F 
Well I found old Bill sittin at the bar 
        Bb                     F 
With a pistol and a change machine 

        F 
He was dolin' out quarters to a waitress named Starr 
        G                    C 
When I asked him if I could sing 
  
          F 
He said, son go ahead if you brought yer guitar 
         Bb                       F 
Then he pointed to the backstage door 

      F 
Said, we don't allow original material 
  C                     F 
'Less it's been done before 


Pre-Chorus 
        Bb 
Well I hit the stage like a big mule train 
           F 
Told the house band to play it in C 
            Bb 
I sang the Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain 
         C 
And the one about the bird in spring 


 F 
Lead guitar was like a chainsaw 
      Bb 
That fiddle like a power drill 
           C 
At Bill's honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin' 

Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken 
                     F

Verse: 
             F 
Well in the 10 short minutes I was up on stage 
           Bb                    F 
Watched a biker punch a cowboys face 

            F 
And with a perfect view I was wittness to 
        G                           C 
The destruction of the whole dang place 

        F 
It was long neck stems and white French hems 
        Bb                 F 
Flying out of that dark saloon 

          F 
And that mechanical bull was reduced in full 
        C                   F 
To the safest place in the room 


Pre-Chorus 
      Bb 
That punched drunk cowboy showed his wife 
           F 
That his shirt was soaked with beer 
           Bb 
She said, calm down honey, have another light 
               C 
'Cause we can wash yer shirt right here 


           F 
Then the whole place stopped to thank me 
     Bb 
For bookin' my show at Bill's 
 C 
Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin' 

Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
