I've never seen you look quite so sad
I've never felt me feel quite so bad
And I know we both feel that we have been had
Well, I guess we were just not that strong
So I lost my woman and you lost your man
And who knows who's right and who's wrong
But I've got my guitar and I've got a plan
Throw your arms around this honkytonk man.

Throw your arms around this honkytonk man
And we'll get through this night the best way we can
It's the best ol' pain killer since hurtin' began
Throw your arms around this honkytonk man.

I miss that woman and you miss him too
But there's not a hell, of alot we can do
But cling to each other till the hurtin' is through
And the hurt can only last just so long
So you be my woman and I'll be your man
Even if just for a while
I still got my guitar and I've got a plan
Throw your arms around this honkytonk man.

Throw your arms around this honkytonk man
And we'll get through this night the best way we can
It's the best ol' pain killer since hurtin' began
Throw your arms around this honkytonk man...
