Honky Tonk Night Time Man Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man 

I can't stand no light 

I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man 

I can't stand no light 

I get my rest in the daytime 

I make my running 'round at night 

I had the blues this morning 

Had the blues all day today 

Had the blues this morning 

I had the blues all day today 

But when the sun goes down 

I'm gonna tuck my blues away, away that's what I said 

Roy, tuck away 

I mean my heart starts beatin' 

And the sun starts sinking low 

Lord, my heart starts beatin' 

When that sun starts sinking low 

When the shadows fall 

I know it's time to go, go, Norm!
