Payin My Dues Lyrics

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
