Well I left my home down on a rural route
And I told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out
To get the honky tonk blues the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
In and out of every joint in this town
The city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues the honky tonk blues
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
[ guitar ]
I'm gonna slap my boogie underneath my arm
Scud right back in my pappy's farm
And lose these honky tonk blues the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
[ steel ]
Well I left my home down on a rural route...
