       C
Well I think it finally happened
    F                 C
I'm tired of running 'round

I thank you for waitin' on me
            G
While I was paintin' up the town
    C
For years and years you stood by me
       F          C
While I ruined my life

I'm tired of all these honky tonks
         G            C
And that fly by night life

CHORUS:
    F
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now
         C
Probably wonderin' where I am
C                                 G
Ziggy's sharkin' pool, for five a throw
        C
And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine's
       F                C
Takin' side bets on the game
                      G                  C
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go

Tonight a bottle stands alone
At the Dear John Letter Lounge
Waitin' on me for company,
But I won't be around
Find someone else to take my place
While I rejoin my wife
'Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks
And that fly by night life

CHORUS

I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends
At the Dear John Lounge downtown
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox
Playin' songs round after round
I'm gonna miss the face of strangers
And the steady passers by
Gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
And that fly by night life
