The Honky Tonk Kid Aaron Watson
H[D]e�s wrinkled and gray
But he�s st[G]ill got the f[D]ire
And he sing[A]s on the stage
Like a b[G]ird on a [D]wire
Oh he�ll pack �em in
Just like [G]he always d[D]id
Oh every[A]body loves the h[G]onky tonk [D]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:
Well the h[G]onky tonk kid loves the h[D]onky tonk crowd
[A]He picks them up when this w[G]orld gets them [D]down
But all the sm[G]oke and the neon keep his pa[D]in hid [A]
Oh nobody knows the h[G]onky tonk kid [D]
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
Oh one last goodbye for the honky tonk kid
