[N] [Bb]
Before you pack your suitcase, call your mama.
Up to now, she's taught you all you need to know.
Just look [F] at me as kind of like your daddy,
teaching you the old rules of the [Bb] road.
You won't be no [Gm] superstar tomorrow.
[Bb] You've got to take the time to pay your dues.
When [F] you start to feel at home out on the highway,
you're a dancer qualified to sing the blues.
[Bb]
[Eb] Always send the big guy for the [Bb] money.
Don't [Eb] give him no excuse to do you [Bb] wrong.
[Eb] Even when you lose, you're still the [Bb] winner
[Gm] [F] if you've got makings of a [Bb] song.
[F]
[Bb]
Don't compromise your feelings when they matter.
They'll come back to haunt you, don't you know.
The [F] songs you sing today, you'll sing tomorrow.
If you don't give up the music for the [Bb] show,
[Eb] always send the big guy for the [Bb] money.
Don't [Eb] give him no excuse to do you [Bb] wrong.
[Eb] Even when you lose, you're still the [Bb] winner
[Gm] [F] if you've got makings of a [Bb] song.
At [F] least you've got the makings of a song.
