Tom: C
C C7
The new country singers, they all sing about drinkin'
F
How it makes them have fun, but it got me to thinkin'
C C7 G
Somethin' was missing, to me it was puzzling
C C7
'Cause in these pop country songs they just have fun at bars
F
They don't get caught cheatin' or wreck their cars
C G C
So I've come to the conculsion that they don't drink near as much as me
[Chorus]
C
They sing about beers and beautiful girls
F
They must be livin' in another world
C G
Where you pop a magic top and there's hot chicks in tight jeans
C
I'm tryin' to figure out what I been doin' wrong
F
Why life's turnin' out like a Haggard song
C G C
I guess it's 'cause they don't drink near as much as me
[Verse 2]
C
These guys drink and cruise and never get pulled over
F
The girl never slaps him with a restrainin' order
C G
At first glance, it was all too hard to believe
C
They sing about their new lifted trucks out fishin'
F
And I've got a court-ordered interlocked ignition
C G C
Then I remembered that they don't drink near as much as me
[Chorus]
C
They sing about beers and beautiful girls
F
They must be livin' in another world
C G
They pop a top and there's hot chicks in tight jeans
C
And I think I know what I'm doin' wrong
F
Why life's been more like a Haggard song
C G C
'Cause these guys don't drink as much as me
[Verse 3]
C
Maybe these singers win all their fights
F
Perhaps they go home early at night
C G
Maybe they've never had to pay attorney fees
C
'Cause they sing about boozin' like it heaven
F
Meanwhile I've been banned from all 7-Elevens
C G C
I guess they just don't drink near as much as me
[Chorus]
C
They sing about beers and beautiful girls
F
They must be livin' in another world
C G
Where you pop the magic top and there's hot chicks in tight jeans
C
I finally figured what I'm doin' wrong
F
Why life's more like a George Jones song
C G C
New singers just don't drink as much as me
F C G F C
Well, I guess they just don't drink near as much as me
