Honky Tonker Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Well, every evening when the news is over 

And the moon is a climbing high 

I crank up my old pickup trick 

And baby, down the road I fly 

Just to find a spot down in the parking lot 

Of a place they call Big Jeans 

Then I walk on in and the night begins 

In the same familiar scene 

I'm a honky tonker 

And I feel all right 

Yeah, I'm a honker tonker 

I'm a neon light 

Well, my momma told me and my poppa told me 

Son there's more to life than beer 

Why ain't you more like your brother Drew 

He's a petroleum engineer 

Why don't you cut your ties with all them old bar flies 

And try to straighten up your life 

You need to quit that drinkin' 

Start a thinkin' 'bout a house, some kids and a wife 

But daddy, I'm a honky tonker 

Yeah, and you can't dig that 

I'm a honky tonker 

I'm a juke joint cat 

Yeah, they tell me I'm lazy, baby, tell me I'm crazy 

Tell me I'm not so smart 

Just the same ole sins I say it's self-defense 

Well, I sure got a happy heart, all right, all right 

Well, every evening when the news is over 

And the moon is a climbing high 

I crank up my old pickup truck 

And baby down the road, baby down the road I fly 

I'm a honky tonker 

Honey, that's my style 

Said I'm a honky tonker 

Yeah, I'm a deuces wild 

Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild 

I'm a honky tonker 

And I can't help that 

Yeah, I'm a honky tonker 

Just a juke joint cat 

Honky tonkin', that's just fine 

Yeah, honky tonkin' 

Baby, gonna walk no line 

No, no, no
