He's wrinkled and gray But he's still got the fire And he sings on the stage G Like a bird on a wire Oh he'll pack 'em in Just like he always did A Oh everybody loves the honky tonk kid He got his first guitar When he was 15 Thirstin' for knowledge All hungry and green Strummin' that six string Just like Lefty did Everybody loves the honky tonk kid Chorus: Well the honky tonk kid loves the honky tonk crowd He picks them up when this world gets them down But all the smoke and the neon keep his pain hid Oh nobody knows the honky tonk kid Ten million fans And a handful of friends But he'll go home alone When each night ends He'll think about her And then twist off a lid Nobody loves the honky tonk kid Chorus 2x It won't be long The Lord will take him away He'll have sung his last song They'll place a wreath on his grave Oh and he'll draw a crowd Just like he always did Oh one last goodbye for the honky tonk kid Intro: Strum "D" then this is the walkdown E----3--2--0---------- A--------------------- D---------------0----- G---------------2----- B---------------3----- e---------------2-----
