  			    D 
I?m out till four and I?m up at six 
    D             A 
And when I wake I have a fix 
   A                              D 
To try and cure the morning after blues 
   D 
To help me make it through the day 
   D               G 
So I can drink the night away 
     A 
That honky tonkin? lifestyle 
     A               D 
Will get the best of you 
 
 
I pay my fare and get on the bus 
Cause I lost my keys and I drink too much 
The only money I have?s in my shoe 
I hear the words roll through my head 
That my folks and the preacher said 
That honky tonkin? lifestyle 
Will get the best of you 
 
 
Well I drink and drink 
And drink and drink some more 
And though I feel high as a kite 
I?m laying on the floor 
My friends tell me to lose the booze 
And then they  read the same old news 
That honky tonkin? lifestyle 
Will get the best of you 
 
 
I dance, drink liquor, beer and wine 
I try to have a happy time 
But by the time I?m thirty I?ll be through 
I try to turn to God and pray 
But when I do I hear him say 
That honky tonkin? lifestyle 
Will get the best of you
