Cold Lone Star beer and a half pack of smokes

Oh, is all that they pay me for the songs that I wrote

Here in this bar, well, the owner can?t pay
Em C
Cause nobody came to see me or hear me play
Chorus:
D Em
Writin these songs and singing all these lines
C D
Over and over hundreds of times
G D
Ill never be pretty I wont get far
C D G
Just writing these songs on a pawn shop guitar
Drove on down to Houston for my next show
Sometimes don?t it surprise you how the wheels turn slow
Made it back home without a dollar to pay
For my gas on down to Stephenville the very next day

Chorus
No I won?t marry a Dixie chick or a movie star
But I?ll keep on playin? my pawn shop guitar
