Honky Tonk Blues Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I left my home down on the rural route
I told my pa I'm going steppin' out
[Chorus]
And get the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
[Verse 2]
Well, I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishin' I could lose
[Chorus]
Them jumpin' honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
[Verse 3]
Well, I stopped into every place in town
This city life has really got me down
[Chorus]
I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got em
Got the honky tonk blues
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
[Chorus]
And leave these honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
