Intro
[G] [D] [Bm] [E] [A] [D]
Verse 1
[D]
Well, I'm a late night music maker
[G] [D]
Singing songs and I'm havin' fun
[D]
My daddy was a pistol, y'all
[E] [A]
And I'm a honky-tonkin' son of a gun
[D]
Now some folks just don't like my tunes
[G]
But most of you here do
[D] [Bm]
So grab your chair and sit right down
[E] [A] [D]
We're gonna play and sing a few
Chorus
[G]
No, we ain't hurtin' nobody
[D]
Oh, we ain't doing anything wrong
[D]
We just came in here to drinks a few beers
[E] [A]
And to listen to some country songs
[G]
We're just good time party people
[D] [G]
We like our music with a moving sound
[D] [Bm]
And you don't have to join our party friends
[E] [A] [D]
But if you don't, don't put us down

Verse 2
[D]
Well, the boss came up to me and said
[G] [D]
"Travis, do something 'bout your crowd
[D]
'Cause they've all been laughin' and drinkin' too much
[E] [A]
And you're playin' for them too darn loud"
[D]
I said, "Well, boss they always pay their tab
[G]
My crowd don't start no fights
[D] [Bm]
But if you go and tell 'em all what you just told me
[E] [A] [D]
They might just start one tonight"
Chorus
[G]
Yeah, 'cause we ain't hurtin' nobody
[D]
No, we ain't doing anything wrong
[D]
We just came in here to drinks a few beers
[E] [A]
And to listen to some country songs
[G]
We're just good time party people
[D] [G]
We like our music with a moving sound
[D] [Bm]
And you don't have to join our party friends
[E] [A] [D]
But if you don't, don't put us down
Outro
[G] [D] [Bm]
Yeah, said, you don't have to join our party friends
[E] [A] [D]
But if you don't, don't put us down
