[Chorus]
Well, I left my home down on a rural route
And I told my pap I'm going stepping out
To get the honky tonk blues the jumping honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got them, I got the honky tonk blues

[Verse]
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 them, I got the honky tonk blues
I'm going to slap my boogie underneath my arm
Scud right back in my pappy's farm
And lose these honky tonk blues the jumping honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got them, I got the honky tonk blues

[Chorus]
