Honkytonk Life

INTRO (2 Bars):

VERSE 1:

        D
Well, I think I'm in Kansas, maybe 
Missouri. The truth is I really 
ain't sure.

But I've been in this van going on 
fifteen hours. My back and my butt, 
God they hurt.
          G                        
There's a sign up ahead, flashing 
            D
in red. From Nashville, appearing 
tonight.
It's always the same, they misspell 
                          A        
my name. Still I love the 
 D
honky-tonk life.

VERSE 2:
    D
Hey Soir, grab the guitars, and I'll
 get the speakers. Could somebody 
plug in my amp.

If we hurry they'll feed us, before 
we go on and I'll work it out with 
the man.
G                           
Sometimes the beer's free and 
sometimes it's half price and 
  D
sometimes there's no beer at all.
But me and the boys'll be making 
                                A  
some noise either way 'til they 
            D
give that last call.


CHORUS:

    D                          G  
The guys will be drinkin', the 
           C   G     D           
girls will be dan-cing, dancing 
            A
up there on the bar.
     D                          G 
This joint's got an atmosphere: 
           C    G       D        
blue collar, cold beer, decidedly
           A
 come as you are.
        D                          
I could quit all this road stuff, 
  G                       D       
go back to my real job and put in 
                  G
a straight nine to five
    D                   G         
But I love the neon and I love the
            D          A          
 people and I love the honky-tonk 
D
life.
