This song has many lyrical and melodic similarities to the song Take a Load Off Your Feet by The Beach Boys, both feature cars prominently and also share very similar melodies.
Radio's on, feeling all right
Cruising the strip on a Saturday night
I smile and I wave and I hide all my pain
But the sign on my bumper gives me away
Honk if you're lonely tonight
If you need a friend to get through the night
A toot on your horn, a flash of your brights
Honk if you're lonely tonight
I know a honky tonk where we can go
A booth in the back with the lights way down low
The jukebox is playing a sad melody
For heartbroken lovers just like you and me
We'll laugh and we'll flirt and we'll dance every dance
And before the night's over, we'll make romance
The morning will find us with a smile on our face
And we'll be together in a lovers' embrace
Honk if you're lonely tonight
If you need a friend to get through the night
A toot on your horn, a flash of your brights
Honk if you're lonely tonight
I know it seems sad to be so damn blue
But there's always a chance that you'll meet someone new
I know that somewhere waiting for me
Is a sad, lonely lover with a bumper that reads
Honk if you're lonely tonight
If you need a friend to get through the night
A toot on your horn, a flash of your brights
Honk if you're lonely tonight (I am so)
