Billy Joe Shaver - Honky Tonk Heroes

The low down evenin' sun
I done did everything that needs done
Always me
Why can't I see
I'd best be leavin' well enough alone?

Oh, them neon light nights
Couldn't stay out of fights
They keep a-hauntin' me in memories
There's one in every crowd
For cryin' out loud
Why was it always turnin' out to be me?

Oh, where does it go?
The good Lord only knows
It seem like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables
Yeah, hoggin' 'em tables
And generally blowin' all my hard earned pay

Piano rolled blues
Danced holes in my boots
There weren't another other way to be
For loveable losers
And no account to boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me (yeah, Lord)

Piano rolled blues
Danced holes in my boots
There weren't another other way to be
For loveable losers
And no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me
Yeah, Lord

Hey, yeah, yeah, that's a good one
