Honky Tonkin` Lifestyle

<br>C. Scruggs<br><br>I`m out till four and I`m up at six<br>And when I wake I have a fix<br>To try and cure the morning after blues<br>To help me make it through the day<br>So I can drink the night away<br>That Honky Tonkin` Lifestyle<br>Will get the best of you<br><br>I pay my fair and get on the bus<br>Cause I lost my keys and I drank too much<br>The only money I have`s in my shoe<br>I hear the words roll through my head<br>That my folks and the preacher said<br>That Honky Tonkin` Lifestyle<br>Will get the best of you<br><br>Well I drink and drink<br>And drink and drink some more<br>And though I feel high as a kite<br>I`m laying on the floor<br>My friends tell me to lose the booze<br>And then I read the same old news<br>That Honky Tonkin` Lifestyle<br>Will get the best of you<br><br>I dance drink liqour, beer, and wine<br>I try to have a happy time<br>But by the time I`m thirty I`ll be through<br>I try to turn to God and pray<br>But when I do I hear him say<br>That Honky Tonkin` Lifestyle<br>Will get the best of you
