Well, I left my home down on a rural route
Told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out
To get the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Oh, Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

I step into every place in town
City life's really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Oh, Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Instrumental

Well, I went out last night, wore out my shoes

Woke up this morning wishin' I could lose
The jumpin' honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Oh, Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

I'm gonna pack my worries underneath my arm
And scatter right back to my pappy's farm
And lose the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Oh, Lord I've got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
