[Verse 1]
A A7How come it's hotter than Hades
D ALast year was nowhere like this
A DLeft a bottle inside
D AOf my car overnight
B B7And it bout burnt a hole in my lip
 
E
 
A A7My automobile's got me crazy
D BIt'll work for awhile and then quit
DThey said it sounds like it's taking
AThe shape of it's driver
E AAnd I wish you was wrong but it fits
 
 
[Chorus]
A A7We got better to Do then offer friendly "How are yous"
D EHow's your life and how's your wife and all the worn out work they do
ATell me any tall tale on your mind
DJust roll the ball and let it ride
E ACuz all we need tonight is some old news
 
 
[Break]

[Verse 2]
A A7Well I met the finest of ladies
A D ATending bar near the place that I lived
D AShe likes whiskey and shine-er, but she roots for the niners
B B7 ESo I'm outta luck once again
A A7So if Tony had played in the '80s
D B B7Tween steroids and locker room sex
D AHe'd be running by plumbers and stacking up numbers
E AThat old Joe Montana never sniffed
 
 
[Chorus]
A A7We got better to Do then offer friendly "How are yous"
D EHow's your life and how's your wife and all the worn out work they do
ATell me any tall tale on your mind
DJust roll the ball and let it ride
E ACuz all we need tonight is some old news
 
 
[Break]
A A7 D E A D E A
 
 
[Verse 3] (spoken)
AMy phone's been ringing on and on and on again all night
D ALocal numbers, no 800s, only adult guys
D AAnd I finally got one not to just hang up and stay on the line
B ELong enough to ask him how the hell he got this number and why
AAnd he said pardon sir I was really just looking for a good time
D BAnd that got my head spinning thinking that I was guilty of a crime
D A'Til later in the bathroom when I was zipping up my levi's
E AAnd I realized the number on the side of the stall there was mine
 
 
[Break]
A
 
 
[Chorus]
A A7We got better to Do then offer friendly "How are yous"
D EHow's your life and how's your wife and all the worn out work they do
ATell me any tall tale on your mind
DJust roll the ball and let it ride
E ACuz all we need tonight is some old news
