[Verse]
GEarly this mornin' without any warnin'
I Ctook a look at myselGf,
I Gseen how this married up Glife I been livin'
Was A7tryin' to choke me to dDeath
I Glaid on my bed I put a gun to my head
And I Cjust about ended it alGl
But I Ccome to my senses just Gbefore I gEmot killed
And I Cblowed me some Dholes in the Gwall
[Chorus]
I'm Gthinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
And Chaulin' my ass into Gtown
I'm Gthinkin' 'bout raisin' so much dEmoggone much hell
That I'd hA7ave die just to live it aDll down
GIt's my life and there ain't no wife Cgonna tell me
I can't have some fuGn
So befCore that old heffer gGets back in from WaEmco
You can bCet your sweet aDss I'll be Ggone,
[Verse]
I'Gm a honky tonk man in a honky tonk band
With a Chonky tonk girl on my Garm
I maGy be as ugly as an olGd mud-rail fence
But I'm lA7oaded with hillbilly charDm,
GIt's my life and there ain't no wife Cgonna tell me
I can't have some fuGn
So befCore that old heffer gGets back in from WaEmco
You can bCet your sweet aDss I'll be Ggone,
[Outro]
Yeah I'm Cthinkin' 'bout crankin' my Gragged old Emtruck up
And Chaulin' myDself into Gtown
