Well being a country musician, you spend a lot of time, out  
           G5 
on the road 
                                              D5 
Playing people songs, and pickin' and grinnin' 
G5                                                  
Well there's three things that will get you down, while  
     C5                 G5 
your carrying that load 
                           D5 
and that's dope, and booze, and downtown women 
 
CHORUS 

Well I can take or leave a drink, just as well as any man 
 
Cuz I don't like it when my head is spinnin' 
 
Well I 'll turn down a toke of that funny smellin' smoke 
 
But I just can't say no to downtown women 
 
VERSE 

Well there's on in every town, and you can see them hangin'round 
 
Fillin' them poor boys minds with thoughts of sinnin' 
 
Well I've sworn off smoke and drink, I didn't even have to think 
 
But I just can't say no to downtown women 
 
(CHORUS) 
 
VERSE 

Well if you choose this traveling life, and you've got yourself a wife 
 
Who'd like to trust you, when those lights are dimmin' 
 
You better stick to booze and dope, and haus you better never give up hope 
 
And one day you can cope with downtown women 
 
(CHORUS)
