Honky Tonkin' Fool Lyrics - Red And Rio Grande/deep Thoughts From A Shallow Mind - Doug Supernaw

Red hung out at the point of tears 

He was a honky tonkin' fool 

Ever since they brought that jukebox here 

Back in 1952 

He was the first to drop a nickel in 

When he danced with his first wife 

By '61 his wife was gone 

But that jukebox had survived 

It was three plays for a quarter 

I turned on enough to go 

Red showed me that ol' Wurlitzer 

And said, "Son, I want you to know 

If you ever come up to be short 

Just kick it on the side" 

Would you do this honky tonkin' fool 

One favor when I die 

Roll away my tombstone 

Put this jukebox in its place 

Make damned sure Your Cheatin' Heart 

Is the only song it plays 

I don't need no stone with fancy words 

This jukebox [unverified] cool 

As a perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool 

When we heard the news, me and Mr. Hughes 

Put that jukebox in my truck 

And hauled it on down to the place 

That ol' Red had hung it up 

And, I ran a short extension cord 

From the old caretaker's shed 

I kicked the side, played Your Cheatin' Heart 

Looked down at Red and said 

Red I rolled away your tombstone 

Put this jukebox in its place 

And I made damned sure Your Cheatin' Heart 

Is the only song it plays 

You were right about that tombstone, Red 

This jukebox [unverified] cool 

As a perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool 

It's the perfect final tribute to a honky tonkin' fool
