Sinkin' Ships
Well I totaled my truck on the way back home
From the local rodeo
And that insurance company cut me a check
For 100,000 pesos
Well I probably shoulda bought me a shiny used car
From one of them dealerships
But I found an old truck on the internet
Only cashed in half of my chips
Well I drove that old beat up truck
To a guitar store up in Atlanta
I found me one for half a dozen hundred bucks
That sounded like Alabama
Well I forked out the rest of that insurance money
That's how I got this guitar
Now I'm just an old broke long haired redneck
Playing around in the bars
Aw every time my ship comes in
I send it back out to sink
And I'm tired of ignoring
All these phone calls from the bank
And out of all these odd jobs I've had
Ain't a penny that I've saved
Aw but I'm gonna keep on a honkytonkin
It'll pay off one of these days
Well my uncle's barn went down in flames
With his fishing stuff inside
He called me on his way to bass pro
And he asked if I wanted to ride
Well I just went to have me a look around
But that customer rep offered me a deal
Once I signed for that store credit card
Everything just rolled down hill
Aw every-time my ship comes in
I send it back out to sink
And I'm tired of ignoring
All these phone calls from the bank
And out of all these odd jobs I've had
Ain't a penny that I've saved
Aw but I'm gonna keep on a honkytonkin
It'll pay off one of these days
Well I filed my taxes but when they come in
I wonder if I'll go and do it again
I should probably only spend it on the things I need
But that just doesn't sound like me
Aw every-time my ship comes in
I send it back out to sink
And I'm tired of ignoring
All these phone calls from the bank
And out of all these odd jobs I've had
Ain't a penny that I've saved
Aw but I'm gonna keep on a honkytonkin
It'll pay off one of these days
Aw I'm gonna keep on a honkytonkin
Til they put me in my grave
From the local rodeo
And that insurance company cut me a check
For 100,000 pesos
Well I probably shoulda bought me a shiny used car
From one of them dealerships
But I found an old truck on the internet
Only cashed in half of my chips
Well I drove that old beat up truck
To a guitar store up in Atlanta
I found me one for half a dozen hundred bucks
That sounded like Alabama
Well I forked out the rest of that insurance money
That's how I got this guitar
Now I'm just an old broke long haired redneck
Playing around in the bars
Aw every time my ship comes in
I send it back out to sink
And I'm tired of ignoring
All these phone calls from the bank
And out of all these odd jobs I've had
Ain't a penny that I've saved
Aw but I'm gonna keep on a honkytonkin
It'll pay off one of these days

Aw but I'm gonna keep on a honkytonkin
It'll pay off one of these days
Aw I'm gonna keep on a honkytonkin
Til they put me in my grave
