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
