Honky Tonk Blues

Well, I left my home down on the rural route

I told my paw, "I'm going steppin' out

And get the honky tonk blues", yeah, the honky tonk blues

Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues



Well, I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes

Woke up this mornin' wishin' I could lose them

Jumpin' honky tonk blues, yeah, the honky tonk blues

Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blue



Well, I stopped into every place in town

This city life has really got me down

I got the honky tonk blues, yeah, the honky tonk blues

Well Lord, I got 'em, got the honky tonk blues



I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm

And scat right back to my pappy's farm

And leave these honky tonk blues, yeah, the honky tonk blues

Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues



When I get home to my Ma and Pa

I know they're gonna lay down the law

About the honky tonk blues, them jumpin' honky tonk blues

Lord, I'm sufferin' with the honky tonk blues
