	        D Bm G D 
(D) This song it was (Bm) written down  
In a (G) pea green windowless (D) room   
Four o'clock and the (Bm) TV's dead 
(E7) Wired up with nothin' to (A) do 
I (D) drunk all my whiskey I (D7) smoked all my beer 
I'm (G) already gone I (D) just got here 
An old hairy ass (Bm) hillbilly 
Still up and (G) hangin' on (D)  
D Bm G D 
 
(D) Made me think of a Sim(Bm)ilar time 
In the (G) Tropicannibal motel (D)  
Takin' showers 'bout (Bm) every hour 
'Cause I (E7) wasn't really feelin' well (A)  
Well (D) in walked the Alabama (D7) Leanin' Man 
His (G) ol' buddy Billy (D) Swann 
Two old hairy ass (Bm) hillbillies 
Still up and (G) hangin' on (D) 
 
Chorus: 
(G) Takes a (A) friend to make you (D) laugh  
(G) A slap on the (D) back (Bm) someone who (A) knows 
Right where you're at 
(G) A friend in (A) town (Bm) who just heard you're (G) around 
(D) Came by (A) see how you're gettin' (G) along 
D Bm G D 
 
(D) Most people go (Bm) out to clubs 
Just to (G) see an electric (D) dildo               
A human jutebox who (Bm) loves to play 
Every (E7) single song they know (A) 
(D) But they don't care if you (D7) blow your soul 
(G) They usually stand up and (D) tell you so 
And leave that hairy ass (Bm) hillbilly 
Still up and (G) hangin' on (D)  
D Bm G D 
 
(D) So wherever you may (Bm) be tonight 
(G) I wish you luck (D) 
You may be with a (Bm) friend of yours 
And may your (E7) friend be your lady love (A) 
(D) But if you gotta go and (D7) do a show 
(G) And afterwards you got no (D) where to go 
You're just a hairy ass (Bm) hillbilly 
Still up and (G) hangin' on (D)  
D Bm G D 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Additional lyrics (not recorded): 
 
When all the freaks have freaked out and all the juicy Lucy's gone home 
And the chicks that you used to dig leave youse hangin' on the telephone 
It's too far to walk, you can't find a cab, then up rolls a bus with 3 in back 
A whole bunch a hillbilly boys still up an hangin' on 
 
A true picker picks his lick 'til he's sick and he's dead on his feet 
And once he's passed out on the couch don't worry 'bout gettin him sheets 
He'll survive and he'll hit his stride - and make his rally about 8 or nine 
That ol' hairy ass hillbilly will still be up and hangin' on
