Honky Tonk Crowd Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Written by Marty Stuart 

When I was a baby, my sweet momma told me 

Go around this world and see all that you can see 

Find a good woman, get a job and settle down 

But I could not stay away from the lights of town 

I had to go where the music is loud 

I fell in with the honky tonk crowd 

So let the jukebox play, let's dance all night 

When you get down on the floor you know you've got it right 

Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found 

Well, I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd 

There's was debutante in Dallas, that nearly blew my mind 

She was raised on caviar and real fine wine 

She didn't like hillbilly music and that was more than I could take 

I left that lovely little cowgirl waiting in the Lonestar state 

'Cause I had to go where the music is loud 

I'm right at home with the honky tonk crowd
