Lyrics for Honky Tonk Blues

Well I left my home down on the rural route I told my paw I'm going stepping out and get the Honky tonk blues, hey the honky tonk blues Hey Lord I got em, I got the honky tonk blues Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes Woke up this morning wishing I could lose Them jumping honky tonk blues, hey the honky tonk blues Oh Lord I got em, I go the honky tonk blues Well I stopped into every place in town This city life has really got me down I got the honky tonk blues, hey the honky tonk blues Well Lord I got em, I got the honky tonk blues I'm gonna took my worries underneath my arm And scat right back to my pappy's farm And leave these honky tonk blues, hey the honky tonk blues Oh Lord I got em, I go the honky tonk blues
