Intro: G C G D G
VERSE
G C
Well being a country musician, you spend a lot of time, out
G
on the road
D
Playing people songs, and pickin' and grinnin'
G
Well there's three things that will get you down, while
C G
your carrying that load
D
and that's dope, and booze, and downtown women
CHORUS
Well I can take or leave a drink, just as well as any man
Cuz I don't like it when my head is spinnin'
Well I 'll turn down a toke of that funny smellin' smoke
But I just can't say no to downtown women
VERSE
Well there's on in every town, and you can see them hangin'round
Fillin' them poor boys minds with thoughts of sinnin'
Well I've sworn off smoke and drink, I didn't even have to think
But I just can't say no to downtown women
(CHORUS)
VERSE
Well if you choose this traveling life, and you've got yourself a wife
Who'd like to trust you, when those lights are dimmin'
You better stick to booze and dope, and haus you better never give up hope
And one day you can cope with downtown women
(CHORUS)
