HONKY TONKIN’ TOWN

(Written by Jeff Ridler)

VERSE 1:

EVERY DOG SHOULD HAVE IT’S DAY

AND IT’S TRUE THAT I’VE HAD MINE

THINKING BACK DEAR HONESTLY

WAS THERE NOT A TIME

WHEN WE WERE THE LOVERS

LIKE LOVE’S SUPPOSED TO BE

BUT TIME CAN CHANGE ANYTHING

EVEN YOU AND ME, NOW…

CHORUS:

I’M HANING OUT IN HONKY TONKIN’ TOWN

TO FORGET ABOUT YOU

LOOKING AT MY OPTIONS LORD

IT SEEMS THE THING TO DO

I’LL BE FLYING TO HIGH

FOR THOSE NO GOOD LOW-DOWN BLUES

HANGING OUT IN HONKY TONKIN’ TOWN

TO FORGET ABOUT YOU

VERSE 2:

I DON’T CARE IF YOU CAN OR YOU CAN’T

REALLY DRINK THOSE BLUES AWAY

I JUST LIKE THE COMPANY

THEY PARTY NIGHT AND DAY

THAT KEEPS ME FROM FINDING

THAT TIME THERE ON MY HANDS

TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE MINE

AND MESS UP MY NEW PLANS, NOW…

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:

WELL THE SWINGING DOORS JUST SWANG AGAIN

AND LOOK WHO WALKED IN HERE

IT’S REALLY GOOD TO SEE YOU

BUT WHAT YOU DOING DEAR?

YOU GOT YOUR HAND IN MINE

AND YOU THINK YOU WANT TO DANCE

BUT I JUST PROMISED ONE TO HER

SO MAYBE WHEN I GET A CHANCE

(CHORUS)
