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