Lyrics

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