Lord, I quit the drinkin, the smokin, and the honkytonk life
(no chord) A
The day that a ring and a preacher made her my wife
And[E] I said I do but I didn't have a clue how [B]I'd miss al[G]l t[A]he whiskey and women

Walkdown: A G D E
Man, this hectic, domestic lifestyle takes a while to adjust
She don[E]'t seem to remember that ol' rowdy rambler I wa[A]s
Cau[E]se she calls up her friends and tells them h[B]ow good I bee[G]n d[A]oin
But th[E]e truth is that I'm goin outta my mind, keepi[A]n up with the jonesin
[D] [A] [E]
[A] [G] [D] [E]
I miss gettin high and stayin out all night with all my old friends
I miss the li[A]quor, the bart[G]enders, the[A] fights, the girls and[E] the bands
It wouldn't be[D] so damn hard if I didn'[A]t know what Im missin[E]
She don't unders[A]tand, Im do[G]in all that[A] I can, keepin[E] up with the jonesin
[D] [A] [E]

During the solo:

Lord it gets so hard when I know what I'm missing
Sometimes I gi[A]ve in[G], start ov[A]er again, keepi[E]n up with the jonesin
Son, I unders[D]tand, it takes a [A]hell of a man, keepin[E] up with the jonesin
[D] [A] [E]
