VERSE 1:
Wanna find myself a proper rock n roll band
And play in every bar across the land
But I’m so tired of chasing money
I wanna hop on the big muddy
And sell my soul to Louisan’
CHORUS:
Louisan’ x4
VERSE 2:
I feel so much better when I sing
You can talk me into any goddamn thing
I’m so tired of coats and sweaters
A honky tonk sounds so much better
I’ll sell my soul to Tennessee
CHORUS:
Tennessee x4
FIDDLE OVER VERSE
BRIDGE:
Ain’t no sun up in the sky
My coffee’s cold
And the whiskey still runs dry
‘Fore I hit the road
VERSE 3:
Well the windy city’s one big traffic jam
Every penny that I earn goes to Uncle Rahm
And February ain’t so sunny
I’ll take my chances with the dummies
And sell my soul to Alabam’
CHORUS:
Alabam’ x4
