I Got a Gig Hayes Carll
Eight line machi[A]ne and a sailor's daughter
[A]Somethin' makes 'em crazy growin' up on the water
[A]Playin' for my supper six nights a week
[A]Hurricanes, Easter and New Years Eve
[D]Four tin walls now there ain't much left
[A]Lookin' like a homeless Cheers on meth
[D]Homer's in the corner, breakin' up a fight
[A]Good Lord, I hope I get paid tonight, I got a gig, baby
[A]Burnt fried chicken and Lone Star beer
[A]Cops and the kids drink free 'round here
[A]Girl behind the bar is takin' what she's givin'
[A]Lyin' 'bout her past and tryin' to make a livin'
[D]Broke pool table and some hard luck cues
[A]Go tell your mama, I done paid my dues
[D]Everyone 'round here knows my name
[A]Six nights a week in the Neon Flame, I got a gig, baby
(SOLO)
[A]There's an old lion tamer parked behind the bar
[A]A hundred pounds of weed in a stolen car
[A]Oil patch boys and girls who went to college
[A]Rules you don't break and laws that ain't knowledge
[D]Barefoot shrimper with a pistol up his sleeve
[A]Some will go to heaven, some will never leave
[D]Pills in the tip jar, blood on the strings
[A]Lord, I never thought I'd see these things, I got a gig, baby
[A]Eight line machine and a sailor's daughter
[A]Somethin' makes 'em crazy growin' up on the water
[A]Playin' for my supper six nights a week
[A]Hurricanes, Easter and New Years Eve
[A]I got a gig, baby
[A]I got a gig, baby
