Lord, I Quit The Drinkin', The Smokin' An' The Honky-tonk Life.
The Day That A Ring An' A Preacher Made Her My Wife.
Yeah, An' I Said: "I Do", But I Didn't Have A Clue,
How I'd Miss All The Whiskey An' Women.
I Tried To Be True,m But It's All I Can Do,
Keepin' Up With The Jonesin'.

Man, This Hectic, Domestic Lifestyle Takes A While To Adjust.
Ah, She Don't Seem To Remember That Old Rowdy Rambler I Was.
'Cause She Calls Up Her Friends An' Tells Them,
How Good I Been Doin'.
But The Truth Is I'm Goin' Out Of My Mind,
Keepin' Up With The Jonesin'.

An' I Miss Gettin' High, An' Stayin Out All Night,
With All My Old Friends.
An' I Miss The Liquor, The Bartenders,
The Fights, The Girls An' The Bands.
It Wouldn't Be So Damned Hard,
If I Didn't Know What I'm Missin'.
She Don't Understand, I'm Doin' All That I Can,
Keepin' Up With The Jonesin'.

Instrumental Break.
Yeah, Tell Me What You Know About It, Possum.

Whoa It Gets So Hard When I Know What I'm Missin'.
Sometimes I Give In, Start Over Again,
Keepin' Up With The Jonesin'.

Son, I Understand, It's A Helluva Man,
Keepin' Up With The Jonesin'.

Aw Man, Thank You Mr Jones, I Sure 'nough Appreciate The Ride.
Hey Is This, This A New Tractor.
That A Satellite Radio, Air-conditioning, Heater.
Oh, A Cooler.
