Honky Tonk Man

I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
When my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home
I'm livin' fast and dangerously but I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I wanna see the lights of town
I'm a honky tonk man...
[ guitar - steel ]
It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
Jukebox a whirlin' that honky tonk sound
That's when I wanna lay my money down
I'm a honky tonk man...
