Honky Tonk Blues

Well I left my home down on a rural route
I told my pa I'm goin' steppin' out
And get the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
I said the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
Hey Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues

Well I stopped into every join in town
This city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
I said the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
[ guitar ]
Well I danced all night I wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin' wishin' I could lose
That jumpin' honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
I said the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)

Well I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat back to my pappy's farm
And lose the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
I said the honky tonk blues (honky tonk blues)
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues oh Lord
