Three nights in old Arizona Gotta get me out to California Yeah, she's waitin' there for me Feelin' wrong, but I'll get right Let me hit that stage tonight Yeah, they're waitin' there for me They're all waitin' there for me But it's hard to be that good timin' man While I'm drownin' my misery With this bottle in my hand But put on a smile and my old guitar And sing "Jean" yet again And I try to be that good timin' man [Instrumental bridge] All these people, they just don't see What her and that bottle been doin' to me Seems every night I walk the floor I was drunk in Oklahoma City Well, the whiskey was strong And the girls were pretty Every night there's more and more Seems every night there's more and more But it's hard to be that good timin' man While I'm drownin' my misery With this bottle in my hand But put on a smile and my old guitar And sing "Jean" yet again And I try to be that good timin' man And I try to be that good timin' man
