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