Honky Tonk Man

(Johnny Horton - Tillman Franks - Howard Hausey)



Well, I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

A hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home.



I'm living fast and dangerously

But I've got plenty of company

When the moon comes up and the sun goes down

That's when I wanna see the lights of town.



'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

A hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home.

It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine

That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind

With the jukebox whinin' a honky tonk sound

That's when I want to lay my money down.



'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

A hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home.



But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone

A hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home...
