Well I’d left my home down on the rural route
Told my folks I’m goin’ steppin’ out
To get the honkytonk blues, yeah the honkytonk blues
Oh Lord I’ve got – I got the honkytonk blues

Well I stepped into every place in town
Citylife has really got me down
I got the honkytonk blues, yeah the honkytonk blues
Oh Lord I’ve got – I got the honkytonk blues

Well I went out last night an’ wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin’ wishin’ I could lose
Them jumpin’ Honkytonk blues, hey the honkytonk blues
Oh Lord I’ve got – I got the honkytonk blues

I’m gonna pack my worries undernieth my arm
Gonna scat right back to my pappy’s farm
And leave these honkytonk blues, hey the honkytonk blues
Oh Lord I’ve got – I got the honkytonk blues

I’m gonna pack my worries undernieth my arm
Gonna scat right back to my pappy’s farm
And leave these honkytonk blues, hey the honkytonk blues
Oh Lord I’ve got – I got the honkytonk blues

Oh Lord I’ve got – I got the honkytonk blues

Oh Lord I’ve got – I got the honkytonk blues
