“Road of Life”
03/29/09

empty beer cans, 6 strings
we listen to bob wills sing
he has to played the honky tonk blues
smokey pool halls and run down bars
fast women and fancy cars
lord is this the life I choose?

Chrous
cuz ill be gone by tommorow
and ill be high by tonight
like a gypsy I keep on rollin’
rollin’ down this road of life

5 buddies in a beat up van
just tryin to stick it to the man
As the wheels roll along
red lights and white lines
i feel like im loosing my mind
just to write one more song

chorus

solo

shes the one rolling through my mind
if only i can only find the time
to give her what she needs
well baby weve come to far
and baby thats another sky
cuz the road of lifes the only one i need

chorus

chorus

Its what I am hearing, let me know if I need to change anything. Thanks!

Nobody Knows Her Name
By Whiskey Myers
6/18/2011

Capo 1

She sits alone in a motel room watchin the sun lay low in a western sky
It’s a long way to Nashville, it’s all uphill, maybe she’ll make it this time
A travellin man in a beat-up van, playin for hopes & dreams, maybe some gasoline
And blood from her calloussed hands flows across the strings but tonight she sings

Chorus:
And nobody knows her name (nobody knows her name)
Feels her pain (nobody feels her pain)
Won’t you sing her one more song (sing her one more song)
Sing it loud (won’t ya sing along) won’t ya sing along na da da da
la da da da da da (la la la) la da da (la la la la)

She sits alone in a motel room watchin the stars shine bright in a southern sky
She hasn’t seen her family in half a year but her memories tell her they’re still here
Well openin’ a show up outta town she looks into the crowd they’re all singin loud
The feelin she gets when she’s up on stage is worth the price she’s paid cause tonight she plays

Chorus

Chorus

The guitar picks this out a lot during the song.

E—3————————–
D—-3———3————–
G————-0—————-
D——–0h2——————
A-3—————————-
E——-3———————-

The progression is really simple standard stuff.

I woke up this mornin just like days before
there were drunks on the couch beer cans on the floor

you know i cant pay my bills just tryin to stay alive

the life of this house summer 2005

CHORUS:

so bring on the whiskey and the brown eyed girls

will fire up a pit out back while we listin to Merle

VERSE 2:

that summer sun its set and low

i twist one up and im ready to go

guitars on the wall ready to be played

you know we sit on our amps and sing the songs that we made

chrous:

so bring on the whiskey and the brown eyed girls

will fire up a pit out back while we listin to Merle

VERSE 3:

they say we got no life and we play to loud

well they can kiss our ass cuz were on stage now

that leap of faith that set our lives

was there in that house summer 2005

CHORUS:

so bring on the whiskey and the brown eyed girls

will fire up a pit out back while we listin to Merle
