Paying The Rent (Acoustic)

[Verse]

Well I don't want to play mustang sally for the millionth time
If someone holler's out brown eyed girl
I'll probably gonna lose my mind
Yeah, I don't like stairway or freebird
But they're both in the set

[Chorus]

They're paying the rent
They're paying the rent

[Verse]

Well there's a drunk guy in the corner
A telling me I suck
But if I play Steve Miller's the joker
He might tip me a couple bucks
Curtis loew and copperhead road
Have both been bеat to death

[Chorus]

But they're paying thе rent
They're paying the rent

[Verse]

I tell them that I got original song's
And no one give's a damn
They don't care about my records
Or how talented that I am
The bar owner say's keep them drinking
And Mellencamp works for that

[Chorus]

You know he's paying the rent
He's paying the rent (I got the landlord coming on Monday)

[Verse]

Yeah, I had dreams of big time stardom
In my younger days
But now I'm here singing proud mary
Followed by turn the page
The bar owner say's we need more Skynyrd
And who am I to object

[Chorus]

You know he's paying the rent
He's paying the rent
He's paying the rent

[Outro]

He's paying the rent
Yes sir I'll play you some Skynyrd
