Honky Tonk Heroes (Like Me)

Waylon Jennings · Legendary [BMG International] [2001]

Low down leaving sun

Done did everything that needs done

Woe is me, why can't I see

I'd best be leaving well enough alone.



Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of sights

Keep a-huanting me in memories

There's one in every crowd, for crying out loud

Why was it always turning out to be me?



Chorus:

Where does it go, the good Lord only knows

Seems like it was just the other day

I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables

And generally blowing all my hard earned pay.



Piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes

There weren't another other way to be

For loveable losers, no account boozers

And honky tonk heroes like me.



Hey,hey
