Onion Championship
A
D
of 1978
I was love with Texas the other night,
G
drinking beer and about half tight.
A
Me and Paul and Jim
D
and a guy named Al.
We were drawing pictures
and writing songs,
G
sitting there talking for too long.
A
Paul said we ought to move this party
D
over to Stubbs.
The smoke was hanging low and thick
G
and the guitar man was hunting licks
A
and Joe Ely was in the back
D
room shooting pool.
Now we all went back there to check it out
G
and Joe said, well, now shut my mouth.
A
I heard the old story,
D
teller knows how to handle a stick.
I said, I've had chalk on better clothes
G
and y 'all know how that stuff goes.
A
Pretty soon we shooting pool
D
and just raising hell.

Onion Championship
A
D
of 1978
Joe and me kind of drew a crowd
G
The place got drunk
and the place got loud
A
And Joe reached over in his sack
D
and pulled out a big ol' onion
He placed that onion on
the belt and said
G
Here's where you're gonna
need some help
A
We're gonna use that hamburger helper
D
for a cue ball
Then Joe picked up a big ol' broom
G
And he waved it all around the room
A
Said, I'm gonna play that onion cue ball
D
with a broomstick
We battled back and forth all night
G
The tears were streaming from our eyes
A
And I had that onion
for an eight ball
D
in the corner pocket
Now the place got quiet as a mouse
G
And we told the guitar man to lay out
A
And I could barely see that onion
D
for all that grass
But I sipped a beer and fought back tears
G
And watched that eight ball disappear
A
And the whole damn town of Lubbock,
D
Texas went wild
And amidst the yelling and the cheers
G
Joe said y 'all wait till next year
A
and that's how I won the Onion
D
Broadway Championship of 78.

And I want to thank all the small people
