Some folks like the winter time
When the snow is on the ground
Some folks like the autumns
When leaves come tumbling down

Some folks like peace and quiet
Some folks like it rough
I love honky-tonk songs, honky-tonk wine
And chasing that honky-tonk stuff

I'll be here in this ol' honky-tonk
With these bloodshot eyes of mine
I line 'em up from three to one
And chase 'em until five

It's whatever turns you on I guess
Lord knows I just can't get enough
Honky-tonk songs and a-honky-tonk wine
Chasing that honky-tonk stuff

As the years roll by
You'd think that old Jerry Lee
Would kinda quit the booze light-hearty ways
Rockin' and a-rollin' all night long
And workin' like a dog all day
Well, I'll tell you I'm a fool about them women
Lord knows I just can't get enough
I'm talking about honky-tonk songs, honky-tonk wine
Chasing that honky-tonk stuff

Now the wine don't take effect
The way it used to all night long
All I hear on that old jukebox
Is someone did somebody wrong

But I guess it's different strokes for different folks
And I developed a-quite a test
Of honky-tonk songs and a-honky-tonk wine
And chasing that honky-tonk stuff
Honky-tonk songs and honky-tonk wine
Chasing that honky-tonk stuff
