[Verse 1: Hank Williams Jr.]
Well I left my home down on the rural route
I told my paw I'm going stepping out

[Chorus: Hank Williams Jr. & Hank Williams]
And get the honky tonk blues (Honky tonk blues)
Yeah, the honky tonk blues (Yeah, the honky tonk blues)
Well Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues (Honky tonk blues)

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

[Chorus: Hank Williams Jr. & Hank Williams]
Them jumping honky tonk blues (Honky tonk blues)
Yeah, the honky tonk blues (Yeah, the honky tonk blues)
Oh Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues (Honky tonk blues)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Hank Williams Jr.]
Well I stoppеd into every place in town
This city lifе has really got me down
[Chorus: Hank Williams Jr.]
I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Oh Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

[Verse 4: Hank Williams]
I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm

[Chorus: Hank Williams & Hank Williams Jr.]
And leave these honky tonk blues (Honky tonk blues)
Yeah, the honky tonk blues (Honky tonk blues)
Oh Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
