Honky Tonk Blues

Well I left my home down on the rural route
Told my pa I was going stepping out
And get the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
And oh, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

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
And Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

Well I went out last night I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishing I could lose
Those jumping honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
And Lord, I got 'em, I 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 those honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
And Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues

Well, I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And leave those honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
And Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah I've been on the road too long
It's getting lonely out here
Night after, night after, night after night
Let's go home, folks
Uptown blues, woo
I got the uptown blues
