D5                      
The promoter says he wants to cancel  
                                 G5 
Cause there ain't enough tickets sold  
    A5 
The air conditioner on the bus just broke  
                       D5 
and I can't shake this cold  
 
The single lost the bullet,  
                        G5 
the singer's losin' his wife;  
       A5 
well I might be crazy but I wouldn't change  
                          D5 
A single thing about this life.  
 
Sometimes we feel like champions,  
                        G5 
sometimes we just can't win,  
     A5 
sometimes our records hit the top of the charts  
                        D5 
or the discount bargain bins.  
          
Through 20 years of touring  
                                       G5 
We've remained partners, brothers, and friends  
   A5 
we keep it together cause we're sure  
                                      D5 
we're gonna be big time before it all ends.  
         G5 
Well you know you've got the Nitty Gritty  
    D5 
and Jimmy's got his drums along  
     A5 
then Jeffrey and me and Bobby will be  
D5 
singing all our favorite songs  
          G5 
Catch the fire from the folks in the front row  
        D5                       G5 
fan the flames as the beat gets strong  
D5             F#5   B5       A5         
it's great to be a part of something  
   G5           A5         D5    
so good that's lasted so long  
 
Well I saw a story in the paper  
                        G5 
suddenly the band's big news  
    A5 
the critics all like our records just fine  
                        D5 
but they seem a bit confused  
 
is it folk or rock or country  
                               G5 
seems like everybody cares but us  
        A5 
so just leave us an early wakeup call  
                     D5 
so we don't miss the bus  
 
Refr?o -------------
D5                                                           G5 
The band says it can't stand my latest song, it's too personal  
    A5 
but my first wife's second marriage blew up  
                                     D5 
she had to get the dang thing annulled  
 
well if that ain't something to sing about  
                      G5 
well you tell me what is  
          A5 
and we'll give it a beat and put it on the street  
                               D5 
and we just might have another hit
