Bills Laundromat Bar And Grill - Confederate Railroad
[Intro]
[G]
Verse 1:
[G]Well I was 3 days short of pulling out of Kingsport, I was [C]headed down to Houston[G] town
Had my [G]guitar packed in a burlap sack, For exp[A]loitin' my country [D]sound
I [G]bypassed Jackson, bypassed Memphis, By the [C]time I got to Arkan[G]sas
I'd a [G]sold my car and that black guitar, For [D]anything cool and [G]tall
Well I [C]pulled up to a neon sign on[G] highway 49, Shut the [C]engine down, took a look around
[D]Then I stepped inside
|[Chorus]
|I [G]asked that bouncer where I was, He said, [C]son yer at Bill's
|[D]Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
|Laundromat Bar and [G]Grill
Verse 2:
Well I [G]found old Bill sittin at the bar, With a [C]pistol and a change mach[G]ine
He was [G]dolin' out quarters to a waitress named Starr, When I [A]asked him if I could [D]sing
He said, [G]son go ahead if you brought yer guitar, Then he [C]pointed to the backstage[G] door
Said, [G]we don't allow original material, [D]'Less it's been done [G]before
Pre-Chorus:
Well I [C]hit the stage like a big mule train, Told the [G]house band to play it in C
I sang the [C]Tennessee Waltz, Kentucky Rain, And the[D] one about the bird that's free
|[Chorus]
|[G]Lead guitar was like a chainsaw, That [C]fiddle like a power drill
|At Bill's [D]honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
|Laundromat Bar and [G]Grill

Verse 3:
Well in the [G]10 short minutes I was up on stage, Watched a [C]biker punch a cowboys[G] face
And with a [G]perfect view I was wittness to, The dest[A]ruction of the whole dang [D]place
It was [G]long neck stems and white fringed hems, Flying [C]out of that dark [G]saloon
And that [G]mechanical bull was reduced in full, To the [D]safest place in the [G]room
Pre-Chorus:
That [C]punched drunk cowboy showed his wife, That his[G] shirt was soaked with beer
She said, [C]calm down honey, have another light, 'Cause we [D]can wash yer shirt right here
|[Chorus]
|Then the wh[G]ole place stopped to thank me, For [C]bookin' my show at Bill's
|[D]Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
|Laundromat Bar and Gr[G]ill
[Outro]
[G]At Bill's[D] Honky tonk pickin', linedance kickin', Razorback stickin', barbecue chicken
