D Bm
This song it was written down
G D
In a pea green windowless room
Bm
Four o'clock and the TV's dead
E7 A
Wired up with nothin' to do
D D7
I drunk all my whiskey I smoked all my beer
G D
I'm already gone I just got here
Bm
An old hairy ass hillbilly
G D
Still up and hangin' on
D Bm G D
D Bm
Made me think of a similar time
G D
In the Tropicannibal motel
Bm
Takin' showers 'bout every hour
E7 A
'Cause I wasn't really feelin' well
D D7
Well in walked the Alabama Leanin' Man
G D
His ol' buddy Billy Swann
Bm
Two old hairy ass hillbillies
G D
Still up and hangin' on
Chorus:
G A D
Takes a friend to make you laugh
G D
A slap on the back
Bm A
someone who knows right where you're at
G A Bm G
A friend in town who just heard you're around
D A G
Came by see how you're gettin' along
D Bm G D
D Bm
Most people go out to clubs
G D
Just to see an electric dildo
Bm
A human jutebox who loves to play
E7 A
Every single song they know
D D7
But they don't care if you blow your soul
G D
They usually stand up and tell you so
Bm
And leave that hairy ass hillbilly
G D
Still up and hangin' on
D Bm G D
D Bm
So wherever you may be tonight
G D
I wish you luck
Bm
You may be with a friend of yours
E7 A
And may your friend be your lady love
D D7
But if you gotta go and do a show
G D
And afterwards you got no where to go
Bm
You're just a hairy ass hillbilly
G D
Still up and hangin' on
