Lyrics for Honky Tonk Blues

Well I left my home down on the rural route I told my paw I'm going steppin out and get the Honky tonk blues, Yeah the honky tonkblues Well lord I got 'em, I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues. Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes Woke up this mornin wishin I could lose Them jumpinhonky tonk blues, Yeah the honky tonk blues Well lord I got 'em, I got the ho-on-ky tonkblues. Solo Well I stopped into every place in town This city life has really got me down I gotthe honky tonk blues, Yeah the honky tonk blues Welllord I got em, Got the ho-on-ky tonkblues. I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm And scat right back to my pappy's farm And leave thesehonky tonk blues, Yeah the honky tonkblues Well lord I got 'em, I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues. When I get home to my Ma and Pa, I know they're gonna lay down the law. About the honky tonk blues, Them jumpin' honkty tonk blues. Lord I'm suffrin' with the honky tonk blues.
