Honky Tonk Blues

Well, I left my home down on the rural route
I told my pa I was going stepping out
And get the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Hey Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

When I stepped into every place in town
This city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Hey Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Went out last night I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishing I could lose
Those jumping honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Hey Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And did the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Hey Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Well, I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And lose those honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Hey Lord, I gat 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Hey Lord, I got 'em
I gat the honky tonk blues
Hey Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Yeah, I'm on a roll too long
Things get lonely out here
Night after night after night after night
Let's go home fellows

Honky tonk blues
I got the honky tonk blues
