Verse 1: 

Well the songs I make, they ain't for livin'

And the things I take, they ain't for givin'

I'd gladly trade all my big city livin'

For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight


Well my mistakes give me my reputation

But them old sad songs were my education

And when I drift back home, I start to missin'

Some rowdy women, to pacify my mind


Chrorus: 

Cause i have been high, I have been low

I've lost my mind, and I stole the show

I'd gladly trade all my big city livin'

For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight


Verse 2: 

I nearly had one wife, she took to leavin'

Because of all my lies, she stopped believin'

and now I'm nine miles high, let me be forgivin'

For givin' some rowdy women, a little piece of my mind


Chorus: 

Cause i have been high, I have been low

I've lost my mind, and I stole the show

I'd gladly trade all my big city livin'

For some rowdy women 

For some rowdy women and a honky tonk tonight
