I'm out till four and I'm up at six
|
And when I wake I have a fix
|
To try and cure the morning after blues
|
To help me make it through the day
|
So I can drink the night away
|
That Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle
|
Will get the best of you
|
|
I pay my fair and get on the bus
|
Cause I lost my keys and I drank 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 I read the same old news
|
That Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle
|
Will get the best of you
|
|
I dance drink liqour, 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
|
