Intro: Dm Bb F C
Dm
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story
Bb
Saturday night I was at this real wild party
F
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
C
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Dm
Then I took one girl outside with me
Bb
Her name was Loni she went to junior high with me
F
Said why you up in there dancing for cash
C
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said
Dm
What would you do if your son was at home
Bb
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor
F
'Cause he's hungry
And the only way to feed him is to
C
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money
Dm
And his daddys gone, Somewhere smoking rock now
Bb
In and out of lock-down, I ain't got a job now
F
So for you this is just a good time
C
But for me this is what I call life
This continues through the song
