showdown

verse 1
D5
there ain’t enough drugs in mexico
to keep me feeling good
if i had a cause worth dying for
you know i surely could
well i get paid every blue moon
it covers the cost of fame
’cause every damn dollar i get is spent
to get you to remember my name

chorus
D5
when i die i won’t be mourned
when i die i won’t be missed
who could say
the day my flame burned out
who could say if i did exist

verse 2
D5
well i can’t get a show in this town
you just can’t dance to me
that’s why god invented djs and karaoke
bar owners say “if you got a show in town
i’ll come by and hear your set”
i say “buddy i ain’t played anywhere
that’s just what the last guy said”

verse 3
D5
well you can’t make a living at this stuff
you can’t die with dignity
the only time you’ll see my name in the papers
is in the obituaries i might get a show in heaven
i might get a show in hell when i retire
but i hear to play in heaven you got to have a harp
and in hell you got to have an amplifier
