[Verse 1]
     A         G             D
Five guys in a station wagon barely held together
     A              G            D
By a long string of honky tonks tonight and till forever
A        G               D               A
Tarp on top keeps the rain off a pile of guitars
              A        G                D
Well, we got fourteen hours till we?re hitting? Albuquerque
A            G              D
Floorboards covered up with tater chips and jerky
         A          G           D                        A
But the tanks full, red bull is keeping? us a buzzin? so far
                                  G
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more

[Chorus]
         D                     G
When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
     A
The girls start movin? cross the dance floor
        D                    G
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
A
Rememberin? why we?re out here together
D                    G                 A
Forget we?re tired, forget the miles, look at us man, look at these smiles
Bm           G         D    A
Hey, we work 22 hours a day, for two hours of play

[Verse 2]
     A                G          D
Last night we tore it up down in Tucson, Arizona
     A          G           D
Everybody loved us but the dang club owner
     A          G           D                     A
He shorted us three hundred bucks we were fighting? mad, hell
       A              G           D
But we found enough bills in the tip jar to get us
       A             G         D
To the next night in Waco and barely out of Texas
   A          G        D                      A
As bad as it gets, so far it ain?t gotten too bad
                                   G
Just when we?re thinkin? we can?t take it no more

[Chorus]
         D                     G
When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
     A
The girls start movin? cross the dance floor
        D                    G
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
A
Rememberin? why we?re out here together
D                    G                 A
Forget we?re tired, forget the miles, look at us man, look at these smiles
Bm           G         D    A
Hey, we work 22 hours a day, for two hours of play

[Bridge]
Bm                   G              D                       A
If we never make the big time, well me and my boys, will be just fine

[Chorus]
         D                     G
When the lights go down and we hit the first chord
     A
The girls start screaming? on the front row
        D                    G
Well it sounds real good and feels even better
A
Rememberin? why we?re out here together
D                    G                 A
Forget we?re tired, forget the miles, look at us man, look at these smiles
Bm           G         D    A
Hey, we work 22 hours a day, for two hours of play
D  G  A
        Oh, two hours of play
