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` hey hey mama can your daddy come home
I`m living 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...
[ steel - harmonica ]
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine
That`s what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a whinin` honky tonk sound that`s when I wanna lay my money down
Cause I`m a honky tonk man...
