Chorus 
C       D          G         C     D      G   
Hey ol' lady let's go to the motel cowboy show 
      D                           Em            C 
We'll drink and dance, there's no place else to go 
      G                  D           Em                 C 
We'll stay out all night long, we'll toast the break of dawn 
G                  D         C     D      G  
Hey ol' lady let's go to the motel cowboy show 
 
 
          C          D       G                C    D         G 
Well they rolled one for the road, put on the same dirty old clothes 
C        D          G           C     D      G   
Down the trail they road to the motel cowboy show 
           C             D          G          C         D         G 
Well, they parked at the end of the line, underneath the cold beer sign 
       G                 D                 C                Em 
It's a long, long way to ride without your whiskey and your wine 
          C        D        G               D        C        G  
Something stronger would be fine, something stronger would be fine 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Well they walk thru the swingin' doors, through the sawdust on the floor 
Everybody was ready to go at the motel cowboy show 
They've been all over the land, not bad for a honky tonk band 
Well, it's a long hard hill to climb, when you're so far ahead of time 
And you've never seen a dime, you're so far ahead of your time 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge 1: 
         C     D    G                 Em               A 
Well the doses soon kicked in and the fun would soon begin 
    Em               A 
The fun would soon begin 
        Em                    A  
And the world did a great big spin 
                Em                   A 
Whoo baby, it's fun, and it ain't no sin 
 
 
Instrumental break 
 
 
Bridge 2: 
  D        A                 G 
I know you well, you don't remember 
D          Am            Em 
We partied way back in November 
D    A          G               D     Am          Em 
The 72 or was it 73, I know you well, you don't remember me 
D             G      D                  G  
All the faces changed and the room went round 
D             G     D              G 
What a mystic place, what a mystic sound 
 
 
Well we rolled one for the road, and they candied up their nose 
Down the trail they rode to the motel cowboy show
