I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinnin' and I didn't feel well
I laid right down and tried to go to sleep
The band was playing in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a playing and a shaking my bed
Honky tonk same old song honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk my money's all gone honky tonk she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
Cause the band kept a playing with a honky tonk beat
[ piano ]
My baby's gonna left me and I'm feeling blue
She took all my money I'm a telling you
I'm tryin' to forget her but I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a leaking through
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
Cause the band kept a playing with a honky tonk beat
Honky tonk same old song honky tonk all night long...
