D7 A7 to Solo over 12 Bar
Road Ladies do to you.
Verse 3 (conventional 12 Bar Blues ? same chords) Vocal Howard (flambé)
I know someday I will never, I'll never go out on the road again.

I'm gonna hang up little holidays yeah
and heal my knees up, from when I was doing on the floor.
See me doing it! see me doing on the floor.
Chorus
Don't you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too?
