21st Century Honky Tonk American Band Lyrics by Midland

Let It Roll

2019

[Verse 1]
Get off the bus
The band and the boys and me
Yesterday was Denver
Tonight, it's Memphis, Tennessee
Runnin' off of cocaine
A couple hours of sleep
Can't remember all the halls
'Cause they look the same to me
[Refrain]
Just out here making a living
With this six-string in my hand
In this 21st century honky tonk American band
[Verse 2]
Play just about anywhere
Draw it down on a map
A different scene, the same ol' jeans
The same ol' pussycats
Tell Mama I miss her
And I'll be back one day
And I don't think ol' Waylon Jennings
Woulda even done it this way
[Refrain]
Just out here, making a living
Tryna pay the record company man
In this 21st century honky tonk American band
[Chorus]
And the wheels keep rolling on and on
And I hear them moaning that lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be
In a 21st century honky tonk American band
[Verse 3]
Little girl in Tallahassee said
"Boy, can I please ya?"
We balled all night long
And I woke up with amnesia
[Refrain]
Said, "Hey baby, what's your name?
I'll call you if I can
But I'm in a 21st century honky tonk American band"
[Chorus]
And the wheels keep rolling on and on
And I hear them moaning that lonesome song
Ever since Hank sang to me, I knew I was born to be
In a 21st century honky tonk American band
(Let's go to work, boys)
[Bridge]
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
[Instrumental Outro]
