Biography:
Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.
The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

Call A Spade A Spade
By Turnpike Troubadours (with Jamie Wilson - awesome singer)
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
G C
Well you've got a ring, you've got a new last name
G C
You've got the same old eyes, they're the same, aw the same
F C C/B Am
And you've got a heart big enough to kill us all
G C
But when you fall, well damn you fall
[Verse 2]
G C
You've got a way, and you've got away with it before
G C
You've got a look that could drop me dead here on the floor
F C C/B Am
And you've got a touch, it's the sweetest one I know
G C
I gotta go, yeah I've gotta go
[Chorus]
G F C
And everything's so easy up until it's complicated
G F C
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
G F C
Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated
C G F C
Aw, but can we dance a little long, can we call a spade a spade
[Verse 3]
G C
Well you've gotta try an awful hard to keep it hid
G C
And you've got a man (I've got a man) oh and I been actin’ like a kid
F C C/B Am
And you've got more than a tattoo up your sleeve
G C
It's time to leave (it's time to leave), well it's time to leave
[Chorus]
G F C
And everything's so easy up until it's complicated
G F C
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
G F C
Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated
C G F C
Aw, but can we dance a little long, can we call a spade a spade
[Fiddle Solo] (2 lines - Tag 1st line of the Chorus)
C G F C
[Verse 4]
G C
Well I've gotta quit, (yeah darlin I guess I do too)
G C
Well I'll take a hint (oh take a hint), it's high time we get a clue
F C C/B Am
And darlin’ please (oh please) well could you stop sayin’ love
G C
This ain't love, (no, this ain’t love) good God above
[Chorus]
G F C
And everything's so easy up until it's complicated
G F C
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
G F C
Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated
