[Verse 1]
I never seen you look quite so sad
And I never felt me feel quite so bad
And I know we both feel that we've been had
And I guess that we're just not that strong
'Cause I lost my woman and you've lost your man
Who knows who's right or who's wrong?
But I still got my guitar and I've got a plan
Throw your arms around this honky tonk man

[Chorus]
Throw your arms around this honky tonk man
And we'll get through the night the best way we can
It's the best old painkiller since hurting began
Throw your arms around this honky tonk man

[Verse 2]
I miss my woman and you miss your man too
But there's not a hell of a lot that we can do
But cling to each other till the hurting's through
And the hurt can only last just so long
You be my woman and I'll be your man
Even if just for a while
I still got my guitar and I've got a plan
Throw your arms around this honky tonk man
[Chorus]
Throw your arms around this honky tonk man
And we'll get through the night the best way we can
It's the best old painkiller since hurting began
Throw your arms around this honky tonk man

[Outro]
Throw your arms around this honky tonk man
