C
Well the band was on its final break
F
When he came walking in
    G7
The lines that showed more than his age
       C
He was drunk worn and thin

He sat down behind the ol' piano
    F
And he ran through a couple of notes
       G7
And he said would somebody buy me a drink boys
                          C
To kinda help me clear my throat

And he said what would you give to hear a song
F
What prize do memories bring
   G7
It ain't every day you get to hear 
                C
A living legend sing

I may forget a line or two
F
A few words now and then
   G7
It takes a drink to make me think
                C
And live it all again

This gray you see don't bother Jerry Lee
F
And neither do these lines
G7
I may have seen some better days boys
                                 C
But God knows I ain't reached my prime

I've got some scars from a woman's war
F
And playing those one-night stands
G7
Lord only knows if I had the time
              C
I'd do it all again

            F              G7
Yes I could still make 'em dance
       C
Like I did in San Antone
          F              C
And I can still make 'em cry
          D7               G7
And I can touch 'em with a song

I can still yet turn 'em on
F
The way that I did back then
G7
Lord only knows if I had the time
              C
I'd do it all again
