As I'm packing the truck
[Verse]
A
I ain't working for her daddy
A E E
And her momma thinks I need to grow up
G G
Yeah, sangin' these songs is like slangin' a drug
D
Call it country band contraband
D
Can't get enough
[Chorus]
A
Of this pickin', grinnin'
A
Dyin' for a livin'
A A
Prob'ly gonna kill me but it'd kill me if I didn't
D D
It's a fix to my addiction, it's a sin to my religion
A A
It is what it is and it ain't what it isn't
E E
I'm a honky-tonkin' dead man walkin' never quittin'
A
Just a pickin', grinnin'
A A A A A
Dyin' for a livin'
[Verse]
A A
Well them rowdy little rodeo queens are struttin',
A A
Cuttin' a rug
A A E E
And them cocaine cowboys getting lit and tearin' it up
G G
Yeah, the sun'll be up before we call it a night
D E
I know it's taking its toll but it's a hell of a high
[Chorus]
A
Just a pickin', grinnin'
A
Dyin' for a livin'
A A
Prob'ly gonna kill me but it'd kill me if I didn't
D D
It's a fix to my addiction, it's a sin to my religion
A A
It is what it is and it ain't what it isn't
E E
I'm a honky-tonkin' dead man walkin' never quittin'
