Claude King - Honky Tonk Man lyrics

rate me

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

Hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home

Well I'm living fast and dangerously I've got plenty of company

When the moon comes up and the sun goes down

That's when I want to see the lights of town

Cause I'm a honky tonk man...

[ guitar ]

It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine

That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind

The jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound

That's when I want to lay my money down

Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
