Honky Tonk Music |
| Every night I play the places |
| Neon lights and smilin' faces |
| People laugh and talk away the evenings while I play |
| Ask myself, «Why do I do it?» |
| Guess there must be somethin' to it |
| Getting' paid for doin' something I’d be doin' anyway |
| And I’m just playing that honky tonk music |
| That’s the kind I like to play |
| Just playing that honky tonk music |
| That’s the kind I like to play |
| Wish that I could have a dollar |
| For every drunk that I’ve heard holler |
| Every barroom brawler I’ve seen |
| Just sleepin' off his fight |
| And all the stories I’ve been told |
| Guess I’d have me a pot of gold |
| Even if half the stories told |
| Had turned out to be right |
| Seen a lot of women lied to |
| And sometimes I’ve even tried to |
| When the night is gettin' late |
| And the ladies look so good |
| I’ve been in bars I didn’t care for |
| I asked myself «What was it there for?» |
| All in all I wouldn’t changes things |
| Even if I could |
