Honky Tonk Woman
The Rolling Stones · Grrr! [2012]
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
cause I just cant seem to drink you off my mind.
Its the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.
I laid a divorcee in new york city,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
Its the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.
(yeah!) its the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.
(yeah!) its the honky tonk women.
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
