Jennings, Waylon - Honky Tonk Blues Lyrics






Well, I left my home down on a rural route
And I told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out
To get the honky tonk blues the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues.

In and out of every joint in this town
The city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues.

I'm gonna slap my boogie underneath my arm
Scud right back in my pappy's farm
And lose these honky tonk blues the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues.

Well, I left my home down on a rural route
And I told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out
To get the honky tonk blues the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em, I got the honky tonk blues...

    This album should have gone to #1.  This song along with Shine were good enough in their own right to move it to the top spot on the chart.
