D               E            A
You got to love old Charlie Daniels
D                   E                   A
You got to cut the rug with Wet Willie too
D                    E          A         E     D   E
And you got to be a fan of the Marshall Tucker Band
   D                      E                 A
Before I'll sit down and have a drink with you

Yes, Bakersfield has got old Merle Haggard
He's a bad, bad boy, yes indeed
Nashville's got a million and one guitar pickers
But I guess my favorite would be the CDB

Chorus:
      D                                     E
Yes there's a few good rockers in New York City
           F#m                        G E
Guess the big LA, it never cared for me
            D               E        A   E     D   E
So won't you tell all them Hollyweird writer people
         D                 E
That it just don't make a damn
          G         D           A
When you got good friends like me

Never dick on good old Waylon Jennings
Or Willie Nelson, Bob Wills or me
Well they're playing that good old country-western
You know this thing they call the Texas Swing
