As recorded by John R. Miller
(From the 2023 Album HEAT COMES DOWN)
[Verse 1]
D
G
Barely made it in on time
A D
For load in and another late night of make believe
D
And it’s sound check if that’s what you call it
G
Two drink tickets and an empty wallet
A7 D
Waitin' around for a coincidental anybody
[Verse 2]
D
The bartender doesn’t wanna talk
G
How many have tried to walk the walk?
A7
Seen it once, you’ve seen em all
D
Better left alone
D
And callin' home’s easier not to do
G
When you ain’t got nobody waiting on you
A7 D
How many white lies can you tell someone over the phone?
[Chorus]
A D
There’s a couple of hot dog hills that I would die on
A7 D
The secret’s in the way you roll your eyes
G D
And I’m tired of window shoppin' just to try on
E7 A7
A new pair of shoes for the same old bad disguise
[Verse 3]
D
How many friends can you burn through?
G
They don’t make 'em like they used to
A7 D
You’re gonna hit the dirt if you keep looking behind
D
So you settled down and sold the gear
G
It never took you all that far from here
A7 D
But when the deal went down it got you out of a bind
[Chorus]
A D
There’s a couple of hot dog hills that I would die on
A7 D
It ain’t much to you but I’m getting along just fine
G D
You’ve been parking all your troubles on the front lawn
E A7
And giving everybody a generous piece of your mind
N.C. D G D Bm A D
You've been givin' everybody a piece of your mind
[Verse 4]
D
Smokestacks on the skyline
G
Leaving town in the morning time
A7 D
Licking familiar wounds and lookin' for a bite
D
It wasn’t like we had much else to do
G
Maybe we were just trying to
A7
Come up with some kind of proof
D N.C.
That we were alive
[Outro]
D G D Bm A D G D Bm A D
