Lyrics Midland – 21st Century Honky Tonk American Band

Text:

Get off the bus
The band and the boys and me
Yesterday it was Denver
Tonight it’s Memphis, Tennessee

Runnin’ off of cocaine
Couple hours of sleep
Can’t remember all the halls
‘Cause they look the same to me

Just out here makin’ a livin’
With this six-string in my hand
And this 21st century honky tonk American band

Play just about anywhere
Draw in on down on a map
Different scene, the same old jeans
The same old pussy cats
Tell momma I miss her
And I’ll be back one day
I don’t think old Waylon Jennings
Woulda even done it this way

Just out here makin’ a livin’
Tryna pay the record company man
And this 21st century honky tonk American band

And the wheels keep rollin’ on and on
And I hear them moanin’ that lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me
I knew I was born to be in a
21st century honky tonk American band

Little girl in Tallahassee said
Boy can I please ya
We balled all night long

And I woke up with amnesia
Hey, baby, what’s your name
I’ll call you if I can
But I’m in a 21st century honky tonk American band

And the wheels keep rollin’ on and on
And I hear them moanin’ that lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me
I knew I was born to be in a
21st century honky tonk American band

And I feel like going home
I could sure use me a sunny day
And I know I’ve been away too long
‘Cause I’m the same but they’ve all changed
