Confederate Railroad is a country band founded in the early 1990s from Texas, USA. The lead singer is Danny Shirley.
Led by Shirley, the original group which came to the attention of Atlantic president Rick Blackburn, consisted of guitarist Michael Lamb, Gates Nichols on pedal steel, keyboard player Chris McDaniel, Wayne Secrest on bass and Mark DuFresne on drums. Lamb left the group in 1995 and was replaced by Jimmy Dormire.
Despite Confederate Railroad's outward appearance as a tougher-than-leather Southern rock band
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

BILL'S LAUNDROMAT BAR AND GRILL CONFEDERATE RAILROAD
CAPO: NONE
INTRO: F
VERSE: F Well I was 3 days short of pulling out of Kingsport BbF I was headed down to Houston town
F Had my guitar packed in a burlap sack GC For exploitin' my country sound
F I bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis BbF By the time I got to Arkansas
F I'd a sold my car and that black guitar CF For anything cool and tall
PRE-CHORUS: BbF 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
CHORUS: 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 Laundromat Bar and Grill
VERSE: F Well I found old Bill sittin at the bar BbF With a pistol and a change machine
F He was dolin' out quarters to a waitress named Starr GC When I asked him if I could sing
F He said, son go ahead if you brought yer guitar BbF Then he pointed to the backstage door
F Said, we don't allow original material CF '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
CHORUS: 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 Laundromat Bar and Grill
INSTRUMENTAL: FBbCCF
VERSE: F Well in the 10 short minutes I was up on stage BbF Watched a biker punch a cowboys face
F And with a perfect view I was wittness to GC The destruction of the whole dang place
F It was long neck stems and white French hems BbF Flying out of that dark saloon
F And that mechanical bull was reduced in full CF 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
CHORUS: 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 F Laundromat Bar and Grill
OUTRO: F At Bill's C Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin'
