SINGER: Marty Stuart

SONG:Honky Tonker

Well, every evening when the news is over
and the moon is a climbing high
i crank up my old pickup trick
and baby down the road i fly
just to find a spot down in the parking lot
of a place they call big jeans
then i walk on in and the night begins
in the same familiar scene
I'm a honky tonker
and i feel all right
yeah, i'm a honker tonker
i'm a neon light
Well, my momma told me and my poppa told me
"son there's more to life than beer
why ain't you more like your brother drew
he's a petroleum engineer
why don't you cut your ties with all them old bar flies
and try to straighten up your life
you need to quit that drinkin'
start a thinkin' 'bout a house, some kids and a wife"
But daddy, i'm a honky tonker
yeah, and you can't dig that
i'm a honky tonker
i'm a juke joint cat
Yeah they tell me i'm lazy baby tell me i'm crazy
tell me i'm not so smart
just the same ole sins i say it's self-defense
well, i sure got a happy heart
all right, all right
Well, every evening when the news is over
and the moon is a climbing high
i crank up my old pickup truck
and baby down the road, baby down the road i fly
I'm a honky tonker
honey, that's my style
said i'm a honky tonker
yeah, i'm a deuces wild
wild, wild, wild, wild, wild
i'm a honky tonker
and i can't help that
yeah, i'm a honky tonker
just a juke joint cat
honky tonkin'
that's just fine
yeah, honky tonkin'
baby gonna walk no line
no, no, no
