E
One bud light leads to another
E
If you gonna fight Billy
       A                  E
Gonna have to fight his brother

E
Feelin' like Superman
Cold beer in my hand
                              A G
I've been waitin' all week long
E
Johnny on the jukebox
Jenny in the shadowbox
                           A G
Nothin' but her lipstick on
E
Shoot a little fireball
Shoot a little nine ball
                               A G
Back against the back wall crowd
E
I don't need to smoke
But I'll take another toke
'Cause tonight I'm burnin' it down

Chorus:
A
Step right up, pay the man your cover
E
Try to out drink a bunch a redneck mothers
A
One Bud Light leads to another
           E
If you're gonna fight Billy
       A       G          E
Gonna have to fight his brother
 E
Gonna fight Billy
       A       G          E
Gonna have to fight his brother

Yonder come a plow boy
Trash talkin' cowboy
Actin' like he's ten feet tall
Billy's kissin' Ontrea
Hell, it's just the first date
Met her in the bathroom stall
Cat on a tin roof
Higher than the 90 proof
Howlin' like a bluetick hound
Steady as the beer flows
Everything in here goes
Circus done come to town

Chorus:
Yeah, step right up, paid your little cover
Try to out-drink a bunch a redneck mothers
One Bud Light leads to another
If you're gonna fight Billy
Gonna have to fight his brother
Gonna fight Billy
Gonna have to fight his brother

Everything was goin' fine
'Till I hit the moonshine
Billy spilled a drink on me
Should'a known better
Hell, I knew better
But I rared back and took a swing

Chorus:
          A
I said, Step right up, pay the man your cover
  E
Try to out drink a bunch a redneck mothers
A
One Bud Light leads to another
           E
If you're gonna fight Billy
       A       G          E
Gonna have to fight his brother
 C
Gonna fight Billy
       D
Gonna have to fight his brother

 E
One bud light leads to another
If you gonna fight Billy
       A                  E
Gonna have to fight his brother
