Well i left my home down on a rural route
I told my folks i'm gonna steppin' out
And get the honky tonk blues get the honky tonk blues
Yes lord i got 'em i got the honky tonk blues
Well i went to a dance i wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin' wishin' i could lose
That jumpin' honky tonk blues yeah the honky tonk blues
Yes lord i got 'em i got the honky tonk blues
[ piano - steel ]
Well i went into every place in town
This city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues yeah the honky tonk blues
Yes lord i got 'em i got the honky tonk blues
I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And get right back to my pappy's farm
And lose these honky tonk blues yeah that honky tonk blues
Yes lord i got 'em i got the honky tonk blues
