Merle Haggard - Honky Tonk Night Time Man lyrics

rate me

(Merle Haggard)

I'm a honky tonk night time man, I can't stand no light

I'm a honky tonk night time man, I can't stand no light

I get my rest in the daytime

I make my running round at night.

I had the blues this morning, I had the blues all day today

I had the blues this morning, I had the blues all day today

But when the sun goes down

I'm gonna tuck my blues away away.

--- Instrumental ---

Lord, my heart starts beatin' when the sun starts sinking low

Lord my heart starts beatin' when the sun starts sinking low

When the shadows fall

I know it's time to go.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm a honky tonk night time man, I can't stand no light

I'm a honky tonk night time man, I can't stand no light

I get my rest in the daytime

I make my running round at night...
