Well the songs I make they ain't for living And the things I take they ain't for giving I'd gladly trade all my big city living For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight Well my mistakes give me my reputation But them old sad songs were my education And when I drift back home I start to missing Some rowdy women to pacify my mind Cause I have been high I have been low I've lost my mind and I stole the show I'd gladly trade all my big city living For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight I nearly had one wife she took to leaving Because of all my lies she stopped believing and now I'm nine miles high let me be forgiving For giving some rowdy women a little piece of my mind Cause I have been high I have been low I've lost my mind and I stole the show I'd gladly trade all my big city living For some rowdy women For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight
