Honky Tonker — текст песни (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
