Back to the Honky Tonks

[Verse 1]
To whom it may concern
I don’t live here anymore
This I wrote in my goodbye note
I’m goin’ out this mornin’
I think I’ll go downtown
Find me a broke down mama
If a new friend can’t be found
Tell me who do I forgive
For turnin’ my home
Into a place I lived?

[Chorus]
I’m going to back to the honky tonks
Back to the honky tonks
I’m goin’ out on the wild side of life
I’m goin’ back to the honky tonks
Back to the honky tonks
So long, farewell, good night

[Verse 2]
There’s an achin’ in my heart
You could never satisfy
When I hear a whistle blow
I wanna hop a train and ride
But you were my pal all the way
And I’m sorry I can’t stay
Maybe fortune will make us
Better friends next time
Now don’t you be sad
Just ‘cause you ain’t got nothin’
I ain’t already had

[Chorus]
I’m going back to the honky tonks
Back to the honky tonks
Goin’ out on the wild side of life
I’m going back to the honky tonks
Back to the honky tonks
So long, farewell, good night
I’m going back to the honky tonks
Back to the honky tonks
Goin’ out on the wild side of life
I’m going back to the honky tonks
Back to the honky tonks
So long, farewell, good night

[Outro]
Hmm
Good night, baby
Ooh
