GETTIN' READY FOR THE SHOW

Well I was born in Georgia, yeah that's where I grew up
But let me tell you mister, that ain't sweet tea in my cup

Yeah I'm drinkin' bourbon whiskey
Gettin' ready for the show
Yeah I'm whiskey drinkin', good time chasin'
Playin' rock and roll

Well this bar-room queen is dancin'
Yeah she's shakin' what she's got
A wicked smile upon her lips
Oh she's gettin' good and hot

Yeah she's drinkin' bourbon whiskey
Gettin' ready for the show
Yeah she's whiskey drinkin', good time chasin'
Playin' rock and roll

Our songs are tellin' stories, and some of them are true
Raise your glass and buy a round, and we might play one for you

Yeah we're drinkin' bourbon whiskey
Gettin' ready for the show
Yeah we're whiskey drinkin', good time chasin'
Playin' rock and roll

We played a late night rockin' show
In some down home smoky bar
Some big shot pulled up grinnin' wide
Said "Boys I'll make you stars
But you gotta change your name
And play some different songs
Go where I point, do what I say
It won't take very long"
We said "Thanks for your advice
Now get back in your car
We'll write our own fuckin' songs
And play these old guitars"

Well I don't belong in Nashville, it's too bright out in LA
New York folks don't understand, it's Georgia where I'll stay

Yeah I'm drinkin' bourbon whiskey
Gettin' ready for the show
Yeah I'm whiskey drinkin', good time chasin'
Playin' rock and roll
