(D) Now first of all, I gotta (G)warn you, before you fall in love with (D)me
This here kickin' out the (Em)footlights, (G) ain't all its cracked up to (D)be

I know exactly what you're (Em)thinkin', girl, God only (G)knows if I'll ever settle (D)down

(Chorus)
So if you think you can (G)take it, enjoy the nonsense and the (D)noise
Girl, it ain't easy holdin' (C)on to hard (G)livin', honky tonkin' Texas (D)boys (C)(G)

(D) Just ask the women who have (G) been there, who've lived and breathed that crazy (D)life
Ask sweet Jessie about ol' (Em)Wayland, (G) ask ol' Willie's four ex-(D)-wives
Some day you're gonna want a (G)family, some day you may be wantin' (D)more
In a king size bed that's always (Em) lonely, (G) whenever I walk out your (D) door

(Chorus)

(D) There's something about them neon (G) signs, I'm like a moth drawn to a (D) flame
Blame it on a smoky (Em)bar or a cryin' steel guitar, (G) those pretty girls screamin' my (D) name

(Chorus)
So if you think you can (G)take it, and enjoy the nonsense and the (D)noise
Girl, it ain't easy holdin' (C)on to hard (G)livin', honky tonkin' Texas (D)boys
