I did some honky tonk healin'
To get me over you
It took some neon nurses around the clock to pull me through.
I was in critical condition
My heart was broken in two.
But due to honky tonk healin' I'm feeling good as new.
Thank you for callin.
Is all I can say.
'Cause your get well wishes dear,
are just a little too late.
Did you think I'd be laid up,
heartbroken and blue,
And misssin' your kissin'.
Well honey, here's the news.
I did some honky tonk healin'.
To get me over you.
It took some neon nurses around the clock, to pull me through.
I was in critical condition.
My heart was broken in two.
But due to honky tonk healin', I'm feeling good as new.
Drop by some evening,
If you can catch me home.
We'll share a few memories,
If that's what you want. Don't be expecting the same fool,
You left crying in vain. It's beeen a smooth operation.
They removed all the pain.
I did some honky tonk healin',
To get me over you.
It took some neon nurses around the clock, to pull me through.
I was in critical condition.
My heart was broken in two.
But due to honky tonk healin',
I'm feeling good as new.
Due to honky tonk healin',
I'm feeling good as new.
