Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle

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
