Aaron Watson - The Honky Tonk Kid


 D MajorD
 He’s wrinkled and gray
      G+G      D MajorD
 But he’s still got the fire
      A augmentedA
 And he sings on the stage
     G+G    D MajorD
 Like a bird on a wire

 Oh he’ll pack ‘em in
      G+G     D MajorD
 Just like he always did
     A augmentedA        G+G     D MajorD
 Oh everybody loves the honky tonk kid

 He got his first guitar
 When he was 15
 Thirstin’ for knowledge
 All hungry and green
 Strummin’ that six string
 Just like Lefty did
 Everybody loves the honky tonk kid

 Chorus:
      G+G            D MajorD
 Well the honky tonk kid loves the honky tonk crowd
 A augmentedA              G+G       D MajorD
 He picks them up when this world gets them down
        G+G              D MajorD     A augmentedA
 But all the smoke and the neon keep his pain hid
           G+G         D MajorD
 Oh nobody knows the honky tonk kid


 Ten million fans
 And a handful of friends
 But he’ll go home alone
 When each night ends
 He’ll think about her
 And then twist off a lid
 Nobody loves the honky tonk kid

 Chorus 2x

 It won’t be long
 The Lord will take him away
 He’ll have sung his last song
 They’ll place a wreath on his grave
 Oh and he’ll draw a crowd
 Just like he always did
