lyrics

Sometimes I do, Sometimes I don't, Sometimes I get drunk

Tempo 100bpm key of A

Verse 1

Well I'm Rollin down the highway, chasin' after love
Ridin' buckin' bronks or in a honky-tonk, there's one thing I'm sure of
You won't find love in a two bit bar,
but you can find a dream
All it takes is a little whiskey, and a girl in skin tight jeans

Chorus

I'm been ridden' in that rodeo, trying' to win the prize
Tryin' to get that girl in the honky tonk
the one with the flirty eyes
Some times I do, Some times I don't, some times I get drunk
And end up in the county jail, passed out on a bunk

Instrumental Verse

Verse 2

I've been in every one horse town, from here to Birmingham
I've ridden' bulls and wrestled steers, and tasted lots of sand
When it comes to drinken' whiskey,
and chosen' women down
Hey, that's what I am all about, when this Cowboy coolin' down.

Bridge

Some time you get thrown, face down in the dirt
Sometime you make it, when you can make it work
Sometimes all the ladies that saw you in the show
Want to take you home at night, and never let you go

Chorus

Been ridden' in that rodeo, tryin' na take the prize
Tryin' to get that girl in the honky tonk
the one with the flirty eyes
Some times I do, Some times I don't, some times I get drunk
And end up in the county jail, passed out on a bunk

Tag lines ad-libbed

Yeah, Hey Jailer, I wanna see the High Sheriff
Hey, ain't I got a phone call comin' to me, or somethin' like that, I call my Lawyer
Yeah, Hey when are we gonna eat, Jailer,
I'm gettin' kinda hungry I been in here a long time now
Ya ever gonna feed me
Jailer, are you listenin' ? Jailer, can you hear me ?
Hey Jailer, When you gonna let me outta here.
Damn, in jail again, Oh well
