Honky Tonk Song Lyrics

I saw those blue lights flashin'

Over my left shoulder

He walked right up and said,

"Get off that riding mower."

I said sir, "Let me explain

Before you put me in the tank."

She took my keys away

And now she won't drive me to drink.

I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beer

A hardwood floor a smoky atmosphere

A pocket full of change to last me all night long

I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song.

He didn't show me much compassion

When I tried to walk that line

As he put those handcuffs on me

I said, "give me one more try."

He never even cracked a smile

When he threw me in the car

So I said, "Sir, if you don't mind,

Oh, would you drop me off in a bar."

I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beer

A hardwood floor a smoky atmosphere

A pocket full of change to last me all night long

I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song.

I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song...
