Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle Lyrics - Singles - Br5-49

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 fare 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 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
