Rhinestone guitar cases, honky tonks and Army bases
Trying to keep my name up there in lights
Learning chords and guitar rhythm
Singing blues and living with 'em
Doing every song old Hag can write
Troubadour, I'm a troubadour
Doing everybody's favorite song
Troubadour, I'm a troubadour
I'm laying back and trying to come on strong
Got songs about the nitty gritty
Doing shows in every city
Warming up the crowd to some big star
I'll always be a minor leaguer
Probably never get no bigger
I just love to play my old guitar
Troubadour, I'm a troubadour
Doing everybody's favorite song
Troubadour, I'm a troubadour
I'm laying back and trying to come on strong
Troubadour, I'm a troubadour
Doing everybody's favorite song
Troubadour, I'm a troubadour
I'm laying back and trying to come on strong
