Midland - Check Cashin' Country
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
Rollin' down the road in the heart of Texas
D
Travelin' band playin' country western
Em
Drivin' all night tryin' to make the next gig
F C/G
Sure ain't gettin' any rest here
G
With the highway below and the Lord above me
D
On the telephone sayin' don’t cry honey
Em
Tryin' to make enough to keep the motor runnin'
F C/G
Sure ain't in it for the money
[Chorus]
C/G G F C/G
This ain't check cashin' country
C/G G F C/G
Ain't check cashin' country

G
Nights are gettin' long and the miles are showin'
D
Life of a country rock and roll band
Em
Lookin' out for the highway patrolman
F C/G
Love to stick around we gotta go man
G
Wake up to the sound of the tires on the highway
D
Pull into a truckstop poor me a coffee
Em
Lord knows the miles that have gone behind me
F C/G
Sure ain't in it for the money
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Em A
I hear that tip jars got a jingle
C/G G
Cause we ain't got a single on the radio
Em A
We make 'em dance wherever we go
C/G D
Tryin' to turn a nickel to solid country gold
G
It goes "T" for Texas and Tennessee
D
We got miles to cover and places to be
Em
The highways the only kind of life for me

Sure ain't in it for the money
