[A]
[E] Ever since the day I was big enough [A] to put my pants on by myself, you [D] could find me somewhere
with the radio [A] turned on.
[E] Then one night I gave my heart [A] to an old beat-up dead car.
[D] It never left [E] my arm till I saw [A] my old skull.
[E] I had to find my hand at the working man, [A] trying to be my daddy's son.
But [D] my mind was packed and gone, and he [A] missed out.
[E] Mama said, I'll pray for you.
[A] Then she said, goodbye.
You're [D] the only one [E] out of seven left in [A] the world.
[Am]
Now [D] I'm way down here in Dixie playing [A] honky-tonk music.
[E] Keeping some joy in a junk bin every night [A] of the week.
[C]
[C#m] Love [D] knows it's hard to keep a dance-off [Em] woman [A] happy.
If [D] you're drinking a little [E] too much and you're working [A] too much,

[Am]
[F#m] there's [E] nothing kind of thing I can brag about [A] to anyone back home.
Just [D] another night at the club singing with the [A] real good man.
If [E] a jealous woman don't kill me, [A] then mama keeps on praying.
[D] Someday I might [E] be more than [A] what I am.
[Am]
[D] Now I'm way down here in Dixie playing honky [A]-tonk music.

[E] Keeping some joy in a junk bin every night [A] of the week.
[Bm] [Cm] [A]
[D] Love knows it's hard to keep a dance-off [Am] woman happy.
[F#m] [A]
[D] When you're drinking a little [E] too much and you're working [A] too much.
