G
Well ever since I was a baby
C
I dreamed I'd be a star
D G
Playing in the crowds and stadiums and little smoky bars
G C
Somehow somewhere along the way something didn't go according to plan
D
Something spun a little out of control
G
Something got a little out of hand
[Chorus:]
C
Cause if this is just business
G
I'll throw my guitar away
D
Said give me my ball back
G
I don't wanna play
C
Hey, what the hell is this?
G
You got me playing this dive
D
Said it's your way or the highway
G
And I'm too drunk to drive
C------->D
G
Well I wrote a hit song once
C
To the tops of the charts it rose
D G
People always screamed for it at every single show
G Em
It's got breaks in all the right places and it goes to a minor chord
Am
'Bout the hundredth time I played it
D------WALK up TO G
I got a little bored
G
Cause I was drunk when I wrote it
C
And I don't like it half as much as I did then
D G
Someday when I quit my job I'll never play that song again
[Chorus]
G
Well I got me a big old tour bus
C
And I got a guy that drives me around
D G
I play the same set in every single town
G C
I got a Mack truck for my instruments and another bus for my band
D G
I don't know what state I'm in and I don't give a damn
