Get off the bus
The band and the boys and me
Yesterday was Denver
Tonight, its Memphis, Tennessee
Runnin off cocaine
A couple hours of sleep
Cant remember all the halls
But they look the same to me
Just out here making a living
With this six-string in my hand
In this 21st century honky tonk American band
Play just about anywhere
Throw it down on a map
A different scene, the same ol jeans
The same ol pussycats
Tell Mama I miss her
And Ill be back one day
And I dont think ol Waylon Jennings
Woulda even done it this way
Just out here, making a living
Tryna pay the record company man
In this 21st century honky tonk American band
And the wheels keep rolling on and on
And I hear them moaning a lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be
In a 21st century honky tonk American band
Met a girl in Tallahassee
Said, Boy, can I please ya?
We boned all night long
Then I woke up with amnesia
Said, Hey baby, whats your name?, Ill call you if I can
But Im in a 21st century honky tonk American band
And the wheels keep rolling on and on
And I hear them moaning a lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be
In a 21st century honky tonk American band
Lets go to work, boys
And I feel Im goin on
I could sure use me a sunny day
And I know Ive been away too long
Cause Im the same, but theyve all changed
