Marty Stuart - Honky Tonker Lyrics
Well, every evening when the news is overAnd the moon is a climbing highI crank up my old pickup trickAnd baby down the road I flyJust to find a spot down in the parking lotOf a place they call Big JeansThen I walk on in and the night beginsIn the same familiar sceneI'm a honky tonkerAnd I feel all rightYeah, I'm a honker tonkerI'm a neon lightWell, my momma told me and my poppa told me"Son there's more to life than beerWhy ain't you more like your brother DrewHe's a petroleum engineerWhy don't you cut your ties with all them old bar fliesAnd try to straighten up your lifeYou need to quit that drinkin'Start a thinkin' 'bout a house, some kids and a wife"But daddy, I'm a honky tonkerYeah, and you can't dig thatI'm a honky tonkerI'm a juke joint catYeah they tell me I'm lazy baby tell me I'm crazyTell me I'm not so smartJust the same ole sins I say it's self-defenseWell, I sure got a happy heartAll right, all rightWell, every evening when the news is overAnd the moon is a climbing highI crank up my old pickup truckAnd baby down the road, baby down the road I flyI'm a honky tonkerHoney, that's my styleSaid I'm a honky tonkerYeah, I'm a deuces wildWild, wild, wild, wild, wildI'm a honky tonkerAnd I can't help thatYeah, I'm a honky tonkerJust a juke joint catHonky tonkin'That's just fineYeah, honky tonkin'Baby gonna walk no lineNo, no, no
