George Jones - Honky Tonk Song Lyrics
(Frank J. Meyers - Billy Yates)I saw those blue lights flashin'Over my left shoulderHe walked right up and said,"Get off that riding mower."I said sir, "Let me explainBefore you put me in the tank."She took my keys awayAnd now she won't drive me to drink.I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beerA hardwood floor a smoky atmosphereA pocket full of change to last me all night longI gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song.--- Instrumental ---He didn't show me much compassionWhen I tried to walk that lineAs he put those handcuffs on meI said, "give me one more try."He never even cracked a smileWhen he threw me in the carSo I said, "Sir, if you don't mind,Oh, would you drop me off in a bar."I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beerA hardwood floor a smoky atmosphereA pocket full of change to last me all night longI gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song.I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song...
