[C]
Well, I wish I could learn to [G] take home my take [C]-home pay
But I deserve a blue ribbon at the end of a [G] long, hard day
I [C] keep telling myself I'll just have one, then I'll [F] be gone
But there's too many honky [G]-tonks on my way [C] home
Down at Deep Charlie's there's a happy hour going on
And just around the corner they're playing my [G] favorite song
[C] I wouldn't be in this [Cm] condition, [F] Lord, if I could control my tone
But there's too [E] many [G] honky-tonks on my [C] way home
[F] There's just too many honky-tonks on my [C] way home
I wish they'd let me pass on by before they [F#] turned the [G] neons on
[Em] Cause [F] there ain't no way around them [C] and I can't live well [Am] enough alone
[C] There's just too many honky-tonks on my way home
Yeah!

[C] The doctor says I'll be dead and gone before my time
If I don't quit smoking and drinking that [G] juke joint wine
