(chorus)

I'm a honky tonk man, and I cain't seem to stop.

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox.

But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone

Callin' he-ey moma can you're 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.

It takes a purdy little gal and a jug of wine,

That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind.

With the jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound

That's when I wanna lay my money down.

chorus
