[G] Stay around, [C] stay around [G] girl.
We met in [C] Nashville.
Some friends of mine said,
we're all [G] going down to this benefit concert.
The headliner was B.B. King,
and Kale was backstage with the cronies [C] he was recording.
They were [G] taking a break from recording.
Roger [Bb] Miller owned a hotel in [D] Nashville,
and at the top [G] of the hotel,
there was a bar restaurant called The King of the Road.
So, oh, we're all going up to The King of the Road.
Then he sat at a [C] table next to me,
and we [G] gabbed through sitting up there.
So [Bb] we just started hanging out [D] from the night we met.
It turned in [G] 36 years,
so watch out the people you [F] talk to,
because your life [C] can change.
[G] Eric [C] cutting After Midnight was the cover that [Eb] changed everything.
The minute, oh, you wrote After [C] Midnight,
now you're out working [F] bar gigs.
[Eb] You can take the band [F] out, you can [C] pay everybody.
You know, he'd seen it change from playing nightclubs,
which was a way to make a living,
[Eb]
[F] but, [C] you know, it wasn't a long-term [D] solution.
[G] John enjoyed [D] working on guitars and recording, writing songs.
That was a [C] constant, how [Dm] do you want to spend your day?
How do you want [D] to spend your time?
I [F] think the [G] studio was definitely
one of his [D] most comfortable situations to be in.
He didn't always agree with the things
that went along with [F] it that had to be done.
Well, I don't want to [G] do that.
If that's what it takes, I don't want it.
[Am] We had many back-and [Dbm]-forth [E] discussions.
Your record's really happening,
they want you to go out and promote it.
Well, if my [F] record's really happening,
I don't need to go out and promote it.
I need [Gm] a car to get to work, but I need a job to buy a car.
[A] You [B] can't sneak into town and draw a crowd.
People [Bb] have to know you're coming.
[Gbm] They have to advertise, they have to [G] sell tickets.
We did a European [D] tour and thought we'd do another one.
Three years later or something, he didn't ever go back.
[F] It's [G] trying to figure all that [D] stuff out I gave up.
[G] I decided going through all of the [Bb] formats
that John worked [C] in were the [G] hot-swappable hard drives.
Then I found stuff that I hadn't heard.
And for me, [C] I [G] started going,
well, I wonder if there's enough [Dm] stuff here
that I would call [C] new stuff.
They're truly [G] songs people haven't heard.
And I hope that [Dm] [C] fans of John's music
will think it's as good as [G] Kale's stuff.
He wrote it, he played [C] it, he recorded it, he mixed it.
I gotta think, I'm [G] giving him as much Kale as I can give him.
