C
Well the band was on its final break
F
When he came walking in
G7
The lines that showed more than his age
C
He was drunk worn and thin
He sat down behind the ol' piano
F
And he ran through a couple of notes
G7
And he said would somebody buy me a drink boys
C
To kinda help me clear my throat
And he said what would you give to hear a song
F
What prize do memories bring
G7
It ain't every day you get to hear
C
A living legend sing
I may forget a line or two
F
A few words now and then
G7
It takes a drink to make me think
C
And live it all again
This gray you see don't bother Jerry Lee
F
And neither do these lines
G7
I may have seen some better days boys
C
But God knows I ain't reached my prime
I've got some scars from a woman's war
F
And playing those one-night stands
G7
Lord only knows if I had the time
C
I'd do it all again
F G7
Yes I could still make 'em dance
C
Like I did in San Antone
F C
And I can still make 'em cry
D7 G7
And I can touch 'em with a song
I can still yet turn 'em on
F
The way that I did back then
G7
Lord only knows if I had the time
C
I'd do it all again
