Honky Tonk Side of Town

Troy Seals/Eddie Setser/Jerry Phillips



Don't you cry, don't you moan

Hang your head down all night long

That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new



It's in your walk, it's in your talk

There's only one way to shake it off,

You got to get to it before it gets to you



So put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop

Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop

There's only one thing I've found

That'll turn it all around

The blues can't do no business

On the honky tonk side of town



--- Instrumental ---



You gotta slip, you gotta slide

There're gonna try to nail your hide

Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chance



So get mean and get slick

You gotta pull out every trick

'Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to dance



So put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop

Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop

There's only one thing I've found

That'll turn it all around

The blues can't do no business

On the honky tonk side of town



Well, you can walk that walk And talk that talk,

and boogie till you shake it off

No the blues can't do no business

The blues can't do no business

The blues can't do no business

On the honky tonk side of town...
