INTRO: A  D  A  E  A

          A                D        A
There's a little dive on a dead-end road
                              E        A
Called the Cross-Eyed Cricket Waterin' Hole
                                  D        A
WHere you can hear the sound of a steel guitar
                          E A
ANd get loud and rowdy on PBR
           E                      D
But at the top of every hour, man you can hear a pin drop
           E                                 D
'Cause ol' Jack drops in a quarter and plays Merle on the jukebox, and we stop, and


CHORUS:
A                E                    D          A     E
Tip our hats and raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
         A                    E                       D           A
They say country's fading but we're still waving that flag 'round here
          D              C#m                 B7
When it's time to go you know you're welcome back
          D                E              A
Where the people pledge allegiance to the Hag


D  E  A


When the weekend comes and the weather's clear
There's a high spot 15 miles from here
Where you can always find a few dusty trucks
With the windows down the radio up
We sit there poppin' tops, shootin' bull and singin' songs
But you can bet your boots that when Haggard comes on, we

INTRO


One of these days when my time has come
You can take me back to where I'm from
Put me on a westbound train
And ship me off in the pourin' rain
Don't cry for me, when I'm gone
Just put a quarter in the jukebox and sing me back home, and


CHORUS:
A                 E                     D          A    E
Tip your hats and raise your glasses of cold, cold beer
         A                    E                     D           A
They say country's fading but just keep wavin' that flag 'round here
      D          C#m            B7
And I know it'll keep on comin' back
           D              E
As long as people pledge allegiance
      C#m                 B7
Where folks still pledge allegiance
D           E              A
I pledge allegiance to the Hag
