Lyrics

A Kentucky son out for fun
Had them demons on his tail
He was still tryin? to out run ?em
When that final curtain fell
A piano and a guitar man
They may never fill his shoes
He lived the life, fought the fight
And wrote them ever lovin? country blues

Chorus:
He?d sing honky-tonkin?
Layin? it down with class
He?s drinking double, cause she?s acting single
You don?t believe me there?s an empty glass
Your place or my place honey
Before this gets so out of hand
You?re taking you a whiskey trip
With a flat natural born good-timing man

Music city didn?t understand
And probably don?t today
Guess his brand of beer joint soul
Just wouldn?t fit on their big stage
Strong music stronger medicine
He loved to do them shows
Went at it old school
He played his way onto radio

Chorus:
He?d sing honky-tonkin?
Layin? it down with class
He?s drinking double, cause she?s acting single
You don?t believe me there?s an empty glass
Your place or my place honey
Before this gets so out of hand
You?re taking you a whiskey trip
With a flat natural born good-timing man

Bridge: There was a quite side, a man you never knew
His kids, the grandkids, married 42 years
To Mary Lou, Oh, God Bless you two!

Chorus:
Go out honky-tonkin?
Just layin? it down with class
Go to drinking double, cause she?s acting single
You don?t believe me look there?s an empty glass
Your place or my place honey
Before this gets so out of hand
You?re taking you a whiskey trip
With a flat natural born good-timing man

You?re taking you a whiskey trip
With a flat natural born good-timing man!
