E E
Last year we went to London and Paris, Texas,
E A
we went on a bus tour, the great Texas honky tonk tour.
E
Here are some snapshots about life on the road.....
[Verse 1]
E E
Let me tell you 'bout the life I lead, it ain't all it's cracked up to be
A E
of what you been told, 'bout life on the road.
B7 A
Rolling round in a painted bus, just so y'all can look at us,
E
life on the road.
[Verse 2]
E
You pack your clothes and your shaving kit,
E
some extra socks and those pants that fit;
A E
check 'em for holes, life on the road.
B7 A
Everything you pack is black, washed it all upon your back
E
for life on the road.
[Verse 3]
E
Climb on board the bus and grab your bunk,
E
one on the bottom is the one you want,
A E
less rock and roll as you roll down the road.
B7
Plug John Wayne in the VCR,
A
let the driver tell you where you are, life on the [Interlude] road.
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
E E
You get a bed and a TV set, you get an ashtray for your cigarette,
A E
you get HBO, well that's life on the road.
B7 A
Get one down on the bottom floor, hang a do not disturb sign on the door,
E
life on the road.
[Verse 5]
E
You get clean sheets and a wake-up call,
E
don't go up north in the spring and fall,
A E
but not when it's cold, that's no life on the road.
B7
Coffee black with pie a la mode,
A
that's what you want before the show, life on the [Interlude] road.
[Interlude]

[Verse 6]
E
Tonight we're playing that high school gym,
E
they're all drunk before I even begin;
A E
they're hollering "Pissin' in the Wind", life on the road.
B7 A
The local band opens up for us, now the PA's got a real big buzz,
E
life on the road.
[Verse 7]
E
The good news is I get to sing my songs,
E
the bad news is they all sing along
A E
and they're singing wrong notes. Ahh, life on the road.
B7
But if I stop, it won't be long
A
before they're singing someone else's song, life on the [Outro] road.
[Outro] (Repeat and Fade Out)
