G
I ain't going honky tonking anymore
C G
And I know I've heard that said before
C
Troubles all I've ever had
G
And it almost makes me bad
D7 G
But I ain't going honky tonking anymore
Now my gal has really done me wrong
C G
I guess that's why I hate to stay at home
C
For I always get the blues
G
And I've tried so hard to lose
D7 G
But I ain't going honky tonking anymore
Somehow this life seems so unfair
C G
I love a girl that just don't seem to care
C
I give her everything I've had
G
Then she tries to treat me bad
D7 G
But I ain't going honky tonking anymore
Now you have troubles that you need to drown
C G
You can't do it by honky tonking round
C
You may stay out every night
G
But you'll never win the fight
D7 G
So don't go honky tonking anymore
Not that I have almost blowed my top
C G
And something tells my I had better stop
C
So I'm changing all my ways
G
And getting myself out of this daze
D7 G
And I ain't going honky tonking anymore
Perhaps someday I will find a true love
C G
A girl that's just as pure as stars above
C
One who knows how to be a wife
G
And really loves me all her life
D7 G
Then I won't go honky tonking anymore
