N.C.                                             D5         G5
Lord, I quit the drinkin', the smokin' an' the honky-tonk life.
    D5                                          A5     G5 A5
The day that a ring an' a preacher made her my wife. 
          D5                                   D5
Yeah, an' I said: "I do", but I didn't have a clue,
        G5
How I'd miss all the whiskey an' women.
              C5                        G5
I tried to be true, but it's all I can do,
                    D5         G5 A5 D5
Keepin' up with the Jonesin'. 
          D5                                  D5         G5
Man, this hectic, domestic lifestyle takes a while to adjust.
              D5                                         A5    G5 A5
Ah, she don't seem to remember that old rowdy rambler I was. 
           D5
'Cause she calls up her friends an' tells them ,
                G5
How good I been doin'.
                 C5                   G5
But the truth is I'm goin' out of my mind,
                    D5         G5 A5 D5
Keepin' up with the Jonesin'. 
                     G5         C5              G5
  An' I miss gettin' high, an' stayin out all night,
                  D5
  With all my old friends.
                 A5
  An' I miss the liquor, the bartenders,
      G5           A5             D5
  The fights, the girls an' the bands.
                           G5     C5
  It wouldn't be so damned hard, 
              G5             D5        G5
  If I didn't know what I'm missin'. 
                 C5                           G5
  She don't understand, I'm doin' all that I can,
                      D5
  Keepin' up with the Jonesin'.

SOLO
                    G5     C5
  It gets so damned hard, 
         G5             D5        G5
  When I know what I'm missin'. 
                   C5               G5
  Sometimes I give in, start over again
                      D5         G5
  Keepin' up with the Jonesin'. 
             C5
  Son I understand 
                       G5
  It takes a hell of a man
                      D5
  Keepin' up with the Jonesin'
