Stripe On A Nine Ball Chords & Lyrics - Calvin Russell

[VERSE 1]
[G]It was hotter than hell in the old no hotel motel
[C]No women and no swimming pool[G]
I [C]couldn't find a honey and d[G]amned it weren't funn[G7]y
[G]To wake up [D]alone with a [G]fool
[G]Beneath the shade I saw a pretty young maid[G7]
She had a [C]mop, and a pail, and a broom[G]
She said [C]you bad blues singer, I'm a [G]bad news bringer
[G]And ir's time to [D]untangle your [G]room

[CHORUS]
[C]Her jeans were as tight as a [G]stripe on a nine ball
[G]Lips were as full as a big yellow moon[D] [D7]
[G]She makes all of her [G7]bread by [C]making a [G]bed
[G]While I'm busy [D]making up tunes[G]

[VERSE 2]
[G]The manager called and he said checkout is eleven
And your [C]twenty-four hours overdue [G]
I placed a [C]star by your name and it do[G]n't stand for fame [G7]
[G]It means the sheriff [D]will be calling on [G]you
[G]Heard a knock at the door and my boots hit the floor[G7]
Had my gui[C]tar and my grass in my [G]hand
I heard the [C]shotgun crescendo as I [G]crashed through the window
[G]It sounded louder than[D] a marching brass [G]band

[CHORUS]
[C]Her jeans were as tight as a [G]stripe on a nine ball
[G]Lips were as full as a big yellow moon[D] [D7]
[G]She makes all of her [G7]bread by [C]making a [G]bed
[G]While I'm busy [D]making up tunes[G]

[VERSE 3]
[G]Well I sold me a song to a big star in Nashville
His [C]agent just called me today[G]
and he said [C]its number one, you [G]lucky son of a gun [G7]
[G]and you got riches [D]coming your [G]way
[G]But I'm a low life with no wife, just a no show hobo[G7]
Ever liste[C]nin' to the whistlin' freight [G]train
And if I [C]find me some riches, I'll be [G]like the other sons-a-bitches
[G]Taking all the pleasure and leaving [D]nothing but [G]fame

[CHORUS]
[C]Her jeans were as tight as a [G]stripe on a nine ball
[G]Lips were as full as a big yellow moon[D] [D7]
[G]She makes all of her [G7]bread by [C]making a [G]bed
[G]While I'm busy [D]making up tunes[G]
