Honky Tonk Man Lyrics - Claude King

I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop 

I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox 

But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone 

Hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home 

Well I'm living fast and dangerously I've got plenty of company 

When the moon comes up and the sun goes down 

That's when I want to see the lights of town 

Cause I'm a honky tonk man... 

[ guitar ] 

It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine 

That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind 

The jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound 

That's when I want to lay my money down 

Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
