( E5 ) 
Well; we were pickin' in a honky-tonk in Austin. 
                                         A5 
This girl came up and bought the band a round. 
                                       E5 
I said "Can we play something for you, darlin' 
          F#5                                   B5      
Before we give last call and shut this ole bar down"? 
             A5 
And then she asked; "Can you play me Whiskey River"? 
                                              A5 
I turned around and said boys, kick er off in A 
                                    E5 
And I did my best impersonation for her 
     B5               A5               E5 
That one performance stole her heart away 
 

      A5                              E5 
But I think she only loves me for my Willie 
    A5                               E5 
Something about my Willie turns her on 
         A5                      E5 
Its not all that extraordinary really 
         F#5                            B5 
But its better than my Haggard and my Jones 
       A5                                     E5 
Its a little thing and you might think its silly 
        F5                             A5 
Ah, but you can bet its always on her mind 
                                      E5 -> C#5 
Yeah I think she only loves me for my Willie 
          F#5           B5              E5 
She keeps askin for my willie all the time  


       E5 
We got in my truck and headed out for breakfast 
                          A5 
I stuck in my willie      CD  
                                          E5 
Youd of thought that I was drivin' in a Lexus  
            F#5                              B5 
The way she scooted-over And snuggled up to me 
       E5 
I said "Honey, Can you tell me why youre with me"? 
                                   A5 
She thought about it hard and then she said 
                                      E5 
"Its just your personality that gets me" 
        F#5               B5              E5 , A5 , E5 ...   
But the naked truth kept poundin' in my head 


G#5 Ab5 
CHORUS 

 *  LEAD: ------------------------------- 
E5         A5        E5         F#5       B5 
--------------------------------------- 
    E5                       
She begged me not to go on the road again 
                                 A5 
Leave her blue eyes cryin in the rain  
                                                E5 
She swears that these four walls will drive her crazy 
                  A5                    B5                E5    
If I go out there singin for all those girls Ive loved before again 

CHORUS:  
E5          A5 
All the time 
           E5 
All the time 
               F#5            B5              E5 
Yeah she keeps beggin for my willie all the time
