Honky Tonk Man
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 momma 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
'Cause 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
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Callin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?
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
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Callin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?
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
'Cause 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
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Callin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?
