Biography:
Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.
The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

[Intro]
C F C F
C F C C
[Verse 1]
C Am C Am
I hear the clicking of the dominoes, you shaking up a game
F C Dm F
And if we lose a hand I bet I'll know just who's to blame
C Am C Am
But if we hit 21, if we make that call
F C Dm F C
I bet I'll sit here in my chair just feeling ten feet tall
[Verse 2]
C Am C Am
And we're caught up in the riff-raff, circling 'round the sun
F C Dm F
It takes a whole lot of blood and tears just to really love someone
C Am C Am
But when it comes back around, that's heaven on earth
F C Dm F C
You never know till the end my friend what your love is really worth
[Chorus]
F C
Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well to do?
F C
I've traveled round and I ain't found nobody quite like you
Dm Am
And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident?
C G F C
Well in my heart you pay no rent
C G F C
Well in my heart you pay no rent
C F C F
[Verse 3]
C Am C Am
I hear the crackle of a campfire, you're howling at the moon
F C Dm F
We all know that you gotta go, but does it have to be so soon?
C Am C Am
Bet somebody's yelling last call, I hope you get some rest
F C Dm F C
I hope you found everything that you wanted in the place you love the best
[Chorus]
F C
Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well to do?
F C
I've traveled round and I ain't found nobody quite like you
Dm Am
And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident?
C G F C
Well in my heart you pay no rent
C G F C
Well in my heart you pay no rent
C F C F
[Verse 4]
C Am C Am
Now we're shaking up the dominoes beneath the neon light
F C Dm F
Knowing anybody else out there couldn't put up a better fight
C Am C Am
But the fighting time's over and it's all gone
F C Dm F C
You pick up the pieces and we try to carry on
[Ending Chorus]
F C
Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well to do?
F C
I've traveled round and I ain't found nobody quite like you
Dm Am
And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident?
C G F C
Well in my heart you pay no rent
C G F C
Don't cost you nothing, not a single cent
C G F G C
Time together well is time well spent
C G F C
Well in my heart you pay no rent
C G F C
Well in my heart you pay no rent
