Midland - 21st Century Honky Tonk American Band

Get off the bus, the band and the boys and me
Yesterday was Denver, tonight it's Memphis, Tennessee
Runnin' off cocaine, a couple hours of sleep
Can't remember all the halls 'cause they look the same to me
Just out here making a living with this six-string in my hand
In this 21st Century honky-tonk American band

Play just about anywhere, draw it down on a map
A different scene, the same ol' jeans, the same ol' pussycats
Tell Mama I miss her and I'll be back one day
I don't think ol' Waylon Jennings would've even done it this way
Just out here making a living, tryna pay the record company man
In this 21st Century honky-tonk American band

And the wheels keep rolling on and on
And I hear them moaning a lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be
In a 21st Century honky-tonk American band

There's a girl in Tallahassee, said, "Boy, can I please ya?"
We boned all night long, then I woke up with amnesia
Said, "Hey baby, what's your name?, I'll call you if I can
But I'm in a 21st Century honky-tonk American band"

And the wheels keep rolling on and on
And I hear them moaning a lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be
In a 21st Century honky-tonk American band

(Let's go to work, boys!) (Yeah!)

And I feel I'm goin' on
I could sure use me a sunny day
And I know I've been away too long
'Cause I'm the same
But they've all changed
