The little woman done put the lid on my barrel of fun

She says she ain't gonna take anymore my wild days are done

She bolted the doors and locked the windows and hid my honky tonk shoes

And I'm sittin' here in this easy chair with the homebody blues

Well there'll be no honky tonking tonight

Hey my little woman she done laid down the law

She's tired of my wicked ways she's gonna make 'em right

There'll be no honky tonking tonight

[ guitar ]

She's called all my drinkin' buddies and warned them to stay away

He's here at home where he belongs he's too busy to play

She's hid the keys to my caddy said you're mine tonight now daddy

There'll be no honky tonking tonight

There'll be no honky tonking tonight...

[ steel - fiddle ]

There'll be no honky tonking tonight...

So check with me tomorrow buddies tonight my hands are tied

There'll be no honky tonking tonight
