Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
Lord, [G]I quit the drinkin',
the smokin' an' the honky-tonk life.
[C]life.[G]
The [D]day that a ring an' a preacher
made her my [A]wife.[F]
[G]Yeah, an' I s[D]aid, "I do",
[Dm]but [D]I didn't have a clue,
How I'd [G]miss all the whiskey an' women.
I tried to be [C]true, but it's all I can [G]do,
Keepin' up with [D]the [G]Jon[F]esi[D]n'.

[Verse 2]
Man, this [D]hectic,
domestic lifestyle takes a while to ad[G]just.
Ah, she [C]don't [D]seem to remember
that old rowdy rambler I [A]was.[F]
[G]'Cause she cal[D]ls up her friends
[Dm]an ' t[D]ells them,
How good I been [G]doin'.
But the truth is [C]I'm goin'
out of my [G]mind,
Keepin' up with [D]the [G]Jonesin'.[F][D]

[Verse 3]
An' I miss gettin' [G]high,
an' [F]stayin out all [G]night,
With all my [D]old friend[Dm]s.[D]
An' I miss the [A]liquor, the bartenders,
The [G]fights, the [A]girls an' the [Dm]bands.
[Dsus4]It wouldn't be so [G]dam[Dm]ned hard,[G]
[F]If I didn't kno[G]w what I'm mis[Dm]sin'.[D][G]
She don't understand,
[C]I'm doin' all that I can[G],
Keepin' up with the [D]Jonesin'.
[G]Instrumental[F]

[Verse 4]
[D][Dm]
[G]bre[F]ak.[G][D][G][C][G]
[D]Yea[G]h, tel[F]l me what you know
about [D]it, possum.

[Verse 5]
Whoa it gets so [G]hard [F]when I kno[G]w
what I'm [D]missin'.[G]
Some[C]times [G]I give i[C]n,
start over [G]again,
Keepin' up with [D]the[F][G]
Jonesin'.

[Verse 6]
Son, I under[C]stand,
it's a helluva [G]man,
Keepin' up with [D]the [G]Jon[F]esin'.

[Verse 7]
Aw man, [D]Thank you Mr Jones,
I sure 'nough appreciate the ride.
Hey is this, this a new tractor.
That a satellite radio,
air-conditioning, heater.
heater.
Oh, a cooler.
