[Verse 1]
Well I left my home down on the rural route
I told my paw I'm going stepping out and get the

[Chorus]
Honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got them
I got the honky tonk blues

[Verse 2]
Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishing I could lose

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well I stopped into every place in town

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]

And scat right back to my pappy's farm
[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
When I get home to my Ma and Pa
I know they're going to lay down the law

[Chorus]
