Payin My Dues

Been playing this guitar here Trying to find my way Going on ten years Haven't had my break So many honky tonks on Broadway Playing for tips and chicken fried steak Burning out like a cigarette Till they know my name Lost my way a couple of times Been through hell made it out alive A lot more getting it wrong than gettin it right Chasing a dream like a rock n roll high So if ya see a little dirt up on these boots Mmm I'm just payin my dues A lot of empty rooms Under neon lights A lot of singing the blues And rolling the dice I had a string of broken promises Down on music row Running on prayers my momma said And holding out hope Lost my way a couple of times Been through hell made it out alive A lot more getting it wrong than gettin it right Chasing a dream like a rock n roll high So if ya see a little dirt up on these boots Mmm I'm just payin my dues Lost my way a couple of times Been through hell made it out alive A lot more getting it wrong than gettin it right Been knocked down but still in the fight So if ya see a little dirt up on these boots Oh if ya see a little dirt up on these boots Yeah I'm just payin my dues Mmm hmm Mmm hmm Mmm hmm
