Song Lyrics

Well, I left my home down on the rural route
I told my paw, "I'm going steppin' out
And get the honky tonk blues", yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

Well, I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin' wishin' I could lose them
Jumpin' honky tonk blues, yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blue

Well, I stopped into every place in town
This city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues, yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, got the honky tonk blues

I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And leave these honky tonk blues, yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

When I get home to my Ma and Pa
I know they're gonna lay down the law
About the honky tonk blues, them jumpin' honky tonk blues
Lord, I'm sufferin' with the honky tonk blues
