														   Well, he's drinking down the
bourbon like it was soda pop, 

Trying to
quell a feeling he knows ain't gonna stop; 

He's mortgaged out his blood for one more
chance to breath~



He had the D. T.
's for breakfast, the shakes till noon, 

He
picked up his bag and left his motel room; 

His head is 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 P!ace 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 time to leave.



It's a honky-tonk engagement, 

But there's no better place to play. 

His face feels like crazy pavement, 

It's getting more lined every day.



Well, he's gonna write a letter and try to
explain. 

She says he's 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, he's got no
cares. 

The music befriends him, it can take
him anywhere.



It's a honky-tonk
engagement, 

But there's no better place to
play. 

His mind feels like crazy pavement,


He's getting crazed out every day.



Well, he's drinking down the bourbon
like it was soda pop, 

Trying to quell a
feeling he knows ain't gonna stop; 

He's
mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to
play.



He had the D. T's for
breakfast, the chills till noon, 

He packed
his guitar and left his motel room; 

His
head is held high but his heart is on its knees.
