Verse 1: BA Every since the day i was big enough to put my pants on by myself DA You could find me somewhere with the radio turned on BA Then one night i gave my heart to an old beat up guitar DEA It never left my arms till i was almost grown
Verse 2: BA I had to try my hand as a workin man,tried to be my daddy's son DA But my mind was packed and gone and headed south BA Momma said i'll pray for you,then she said goodbye DEA To the only one out of seven that didn't work out
Chorus: DA Now i'm way down hear in dixie playing honky tonk music EA Keepin' some joint a jumpin' every night of the week DA Lord knows it's hard to keep a dance hall women happy DEA When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap
Verse 3: BA Well i ain't done a thing i can brag about to anyone back home DA Just another night club singer with a real good band BA If a jealous woman don't kill me,and momma keeps on praying DEA Someday i might be more than what i am
Chorus.
DEA When you're drinkin' a little too much and you're workin' cheap
