My grand(D)mother owned a night club 
On the (Cadd9) Arkansas (G) Oklahoma (D) line 
Mama put me on a Greyhound 
And I went to stay with her in the summer(A7)time 
I'd (G) box up those empty long-necks 
And (Cadd9) stack 'em in the (G) back and make a (D) hand (G) 
Then at (D) night she'd let me sneak out 
Of the (Cadd9) kitchen and (G) sit in with the (D) band 
 
Yes, (D) I have sacked some quarterbacks 
And (Cadd9) broke my share of (G) bones along the (D) way 
I knew it wouldn't last forever  
Semi-pro always means semi-pa(A7)yed 
I (G) started climbing drilling rigs 
I'm (Cadd9) oil field trash and (G) proud as I can (D) be, (G) yeah 
Then I (D) took my songs and guitar 
And (Cadd9) sang 'em to a (G) man from Tenness(D)ee 
 
I've played (G) every beer joint tavern  
From (Cadd9) New York City (G) out to Pasad(D)ena  
Every corn dog fair and rodeo 
And sold out every basketball ar(A7)ena 
Like to (F) get down with my boys  
In Af(Cadd9)ghanistan and (G) Baghdad City (D) too (G) 
I am a (D) red, white and (F) blue blood 
(Cadd9) Graduate of (G) Honky Tonk (D) U 
 
Repeat Intro 
 
A (E) star can't burn forever 
And the (D) brightest ones will (A) someday lose their (E) shine 
But the glass won't ever be 
Half empty in my optimistic (B7) mind 
I'll still (A) have a song to sing 
And a (D) band to turn it (A) up and play it (E) loud (A) 
As (E) long as there's a bar room 
With a (D) corner stage and a (A) honky tonk (E) crowd 
 
I've played (A) every beer joint tavern  
From (D) New York City (A) out to Pasad(E)ena  
Every corn dog fair and rodeo 
And sold out every basketball ar(B7)ena 
Like to (G) get down with my boys  
In Af(D)ghanistan and (A) Baghdad City (E) too (A) 
Son, I'm a (E) red, white and (G) blue blood 
(D) Graduate of (A) Honky Tonk (E) U 
 
That's right a (E) red, white and (G) blue blood 
(D) Graduate of (A) Honky Tonk (E) U
