Keepin' Up With The Jonesin' Lyrics - Jamey Johnson

Lord, I quit the drinkin', the smokin' an' the honky-tonk life. 

The day that a ring an' a preacher made her my wife. 

Yeah, an' I said: "I do", but I didn't have a clue, 

How I'd miss all the whiskey an' women. 

I tried to be true, m but it's all I can do, 

Keepin' up with the Jonesin'. 

Man, this hectic, domestic lifestyle takes a while to adjust. 

Ah, she don't seem to remember that old rowdy rambler I was. 

'Cause she calls up her friends an' tells them, 

How good I been doin'. 

But the truth is I'm goin' out of my mind, 

Keepin' up with the Jonesin'.

An' I miss gettin' high, an' stayin out all night, 

With all my old friends. 

An' I miss the liquor, the bartenders, 

The fights, the girls an' the bands. 

It wouldn't be so damned hard, 

If I didn't know what I'm missin'. 

She don't understand, I'm doin' all that I can, 

Keepin' up with the Jonesin'. 

Instrumental break. 

Yeah, tell me what you know about it, possum. 

Whoa it gets so hard when I know what I'm missin'. 

Sometimes I give in, start over again, 

Keepin' up with the Jonesin'. 

Son, I understand, it's a helluva man, 

Keepin' up with the Jonesin'. 

Aw man, Thank you Mr Jones, I sure 'nough appreciate the ride. 

Hey is this, this a new tractor. 

That a satellite radio, air-conditioning, heater. 

Oh, a cooler.
