George Jones Honky Tonk Song Lyrics

Honky Tonk Song Lyrics

I saw those blue lights flashin' over my left shoulder

He walked right up and said, "Get off that riding mower"

I said sir, "Let me explain before you put me in the tank"

She took my keys away and now she won't drive me to drink



I need a honky tonk song, a cold, cold beer

A hardwood floor, a smoky atmosphere

A pocket full of change to last me all night long

I gotta hear old Hank a moanin', a honky tonk song



He didn't show me much compassion when I tried to walk that line

As he put those handcuffs on me, I said, "Give me one more try"

He never even cracked a smile when he threw me in the car

So I said, "Sir, if you don't mind, oh, would you drop me off in a bar"



I need a honky tonk song, a cold, cold beer

A hardwood floor, smoky atmosphere

A pocket full of change to last me all night long

I gotta hear old Hank a moanin', a honky tonk song

I gotta hear old Hank a moanin', a honky tonk song
