•❥....••❥...!!! Yeah, well, hes drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop Trying to quell a feeling he knows aint gonna stop Hes mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe He had the DTs for breakfast, the shakes till noon He picked up his bag and left this motel room His head held high but his heart is on its knees Well, he packed his guitar and his bar room tan Gotta get some miles behind him as fast as he can Another destination, some place else to play Well, he left a life behind him in some old trailer park They tried to make it work, it was ruined from the start He had to shake the rust, it became the time to leave, yeah, woh Its a honky tonk engagement But theres no better place to play His face feels like a crazy pavement Its getting more lined every day Well, hes gonna write a letter and try to explain She says hes too old to have these growing pains But something keeps him moving, living on through the night But as the night approaches, a change is in the air His heart is pumping fast, hes got no cares The music befriends him, it can take him anywhere, yeah Its a honky tonk engagement But theres no better place to play His mind feels like crazy pavement Hes getting crazed out every day Well, hes drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop Trying to quell a feeling he knows aint gonna stop Hes mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe Hes had the DTs for breakfast, the chills till noon He packed his guitar and left the hotel room His head held high but his heart is on its knees, yeah
