They Found Me In A Honky Tonk - Jody Booth
[Verse 1]
[C] I was nine years old, I ran away
[F] Mama and Daddy must've searched all day [C]
[F] They called the chief of police and the state [C] patrol
[C] They checked the skatin' rink and the swimmin' hole
[G] Daddy stopped for a drink at the county line
[C] Saw my bike propped up beneath a neon sign
|[Chorus 1]
|[C]And they found me in a honky [F] tonk
|Listenin' to a [C] country song
|Tappin' my sneakers and singin' [G] along
|Big ol' smile on my face [C]
|Sippin' an ice cold cherry [F] Coke
|While the waitress told a dirty [C] joke
|Somethin' about it made me feel [G] at home
|They found me in a honky [C] tonk
[Verse 2]
[C] Sent a hundred invitations out for the big day
[F] Her daddy was there to give his baby away [C]
[F] She was standin' at the altar all dressed in white
[C] But me and the ring were nowhere in sight
[G] She gave the bouquet to the preacher, said "I'll be right back"
Took off draggin' them cans behind the Cadillac [C]
|[Chorus 2]
|[C] And she found me in a honky [F] tonk
|Listenin' to a [C] country song
|Tappin' my boots and singin' [G] along
|Big ol' smile on my face [C]
|Sippin' a Texas [F] Crown and Coke
|Tellin' the waitress some ol' dirty [C] joke
|First place she looked was my second [G] home
|She found me in a honky [C] tonk
[Bridge]
[F] Now when my time down here is over
And I've drank my last beer [C]
When St. [F] Peter calls my name out y'all, if I don't [G] answer here
|[Chorus 3]
|[C] And You’ll find me in a honky [F]tonk
|Listenin' to a [C] Gospel song
|Tappin' my boots and singin' [G] along
|Big ol' smile on my face [C]
|Sippin' Ice Cold [F] Cherry Coke
|Tellin' the waitress some ol' Knock [C] Knock joke
|If I Ain’t Present When The Call [G] Me Home
|You’ll Find me in a honky [C] tonk
Outro:
If I Ain’t Present When The Call [G] Me Home
You’ll Find me in a honky [C] tonk
