I'm out till four and I'm up at six
And when I wake I have a fix
To try and cure the morning after blues
To help me make it through the day
So I can drink the night away
That Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle
Will get the best of you

I pay my fair and get on the bus
Cause I lost my keys and I drank too much
The only money I have's in my shoe
I hear the words roll through my head
That my folks and the preacher said
That Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle
Will get the best of you

Well I drink and drink
And drink and drink some more
And though I feel high as a kite
I'm laying on the floor
My friends tell me to lose the booze
And then I read the same old news
That Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle
Will get the best of you

I dance drink liqour, beer, and wine
I try to have a happy time
But by the time I'm thirty I'll be through
I try to turn to God and pray
But when I do I hear him say
That Honky Tonkin' Lifestyle
Will get the best of you
