        Findin' new Dways to be uEntrue
        ADrinkin' my Dway Ethrough this monthA's rent
        Seems to be the Ebest I can Ado
[Verse]  
        ADrunk and enraged and I'm Dshowin' my age
        I Edreamt away my money and my Amind
        No woman to call wife, I got no Dhome to spend my life
        And Eno desire for either at this Atime
        I'm showin' no signs of growing Dup at any time
        EI keep a firm grasp upon my Ayouth
        And the subtlety of love is something DI know nothing of
        EAnd I have got no concept of the Atruth
[Chorus] 
        AStayin' out late in a Ehonky tonk Abar

[Chorus]

A E A

Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar

Findin' new ways to be untrue

Drinkin' my way through this month's rent

Seems to be the best I can do

[Verse]

A D

Drunk and enraged and I'm showin' my age

E A

I dreamt away my money and my mind

No woman to call wife, I got no home to spend my life

E A

And no desire for either at this time

I'm showin' no signs of growing up at any time

E A

I keep a firm grasp upon my youth

And the subtlety of love is something I know nothing of

E A

And I have got no concept of the truth

Desperate ways seem to control my every day

E A

And it's hard to understand why I run

But this poet's dance is my last chance

To lay down my pen and show you how it's done

[Chorus]

A E A

Stayin' out late in a honky tonk bar

Findin' new ways to be untrue

A D E A

Drinkin' my way through this month's rent

Seems to be the best I can do
