A               D          A  
Well I live my life on Honky Tonk Time  
            A                         D    A  
Through the swingin' doors 'neath the neon sign  
          A                        D          A  
Where the spirits are high snd the lights are low  
A                   D         A  
Music's hot and the beers ice cold  
     E               
Some people don't like the life I lead  
     D                       E 
They say I'm guilty just for bein' me  
 
        D          
Hey I'm guilty, guilty as charged  
A 
Sentence me to a life behind bars  
D 
Guilty of livin' four fourths time  
A 
Honky Tonkin' is my crime  
E 
Guilty as charged, that's what I plea  
            D                         E       A   
'Caus I'm a honky tonkin' fool in the first degree
  
 
 
Some people say that I won't go far  
Say I'm tryin' to be some kind of star  
Yeah, but all I wanna be is what I am  
Thats a honky tonk singer in a honky tonk band  
I don't need no jury, don't need no trial  
I'm pleadin' guilty for getting' plum wild
