Honky Tonk Song Songtext

von Webb Pierce

I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was a-spinnin' and I didn't feel well
I laid right down and tried to go to sleep
A band kept a-playin' in a joint underneath
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a-playin' and shakin' my bed

Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed and I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a-playin with a honky tonk beat

Well I'm so blue, my baby's gone
She took all my money and left me all alone
I'm tryin' to forget her, but I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a-leakin' thru
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band keeps a-playin' and shakin' my bed

Honky tonk, all night long
Honky tonk, same old song
Honky tonk, my money's all gone
Honky tonk, she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed and I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band keeps a-playin with a honky tonk beat
