INTRO: Early this mornin' without any warnin' I took me a look at myself, Good God! I seen how this married up life I've been livin' Was tryin' to choke me to death I laid on the bed with my gun to my head And I nearly 'bout ended it all But I come to myself just before I got killed And I blowed me some holes in the wall I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up And haulin' myself into town I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so doggoned much hell 'Til I die before I live it all down I lay around this place 'til I'm blue in the face And I may as well be underground I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up And haulin' myself into town SOLO A honky tonk man in a honky tonk band With a honky tonk girl on my arm I may be as ugly as an old mudrail fence But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm, that's right! Yeah it's my life and no wife of mine's gonna tell me I can't go and have me some fun So before that old heffer drives back in from Waco You can bet your rear end I'll be gone CHORUS Yeah I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up And haulin' myself into town
