[Verse 1]
C C F F
Well, my name is carved in almost every bar
G G C C
from here to the Gulf of Mexico.
C C F F
Yeah, I've taken my time getting to know the neon signs
G G C C
and losing touch with the settled life I've known.
[Chorus]
C C
Cuz these clothes ain't dirty
F F
a-honey they're just stained
G G C C
from the honky-tonk lifestyle that I've maintained

And this heart ain't broken

and each time I try to straighten it out
G C C
I wind up drunk again

the kind that are best when cold and in a can.

C C F F
But I still get along mighty fine, I still spend my nights on chicken and wine
G G C C
There's always someone to buy me one last round
[Chorus]

Cuz these clothes ain't dirty

a-honey they're just stained
G G C C
from the honky-tonk lifestyle that I've maintained
