Honey, Won't You Call Me

Hank Williams Jr. · The Early Years, Part Two [1986]

I can see the home fire burning and the kids playing in the yard

As the red sun is slowly fading on this rock and roll cowboy's farm

Now I wish I had my woman to kiss and love and hold me tight

But the only thing in my arms is my guitar tonight

Now Honey won't you call me

It gets so lonely on the road

If I heard your sweet voice, oh darlin'

I'd turn around and come back home

Well I dreamed that I had you with me, I smelled the perfume in your hair

You were laying so warm beside me telling me how much you care

But I woke up without you darlin' to tell me everything's alright

But the only thing in my arms is my guitar tonight

Now Honey won't you call me

It gets so lonely on the road

If I heard your sweet voice, oh darlin'

I'd turn around and come back home

Now Honey won't you call me

It gets so lonely on the road

If I heard your sweet voice, oh darlin'

I'd turn around and come back home

Now Honey won't you call me

It gets so lonely on the road

If I heard your sweet voice, oh darlin'

I'd turn around and come back home
