Honky Tonk Stuff

(album: When Two Worlds Collide - 1980)

Some folks like the winter time
When the snow is on the ground
Some folks like the autumn when leaves come tumbling down
Some folks like peace and quiet
Some folks like it rough
I love honky tonk songs, honky tonk wine
And chasing that honky tonk stuff

I'll be here in this old honky tonk
With these bloodshot eyes of mine
I line 'em up from 3:00 to 1:00
And chase 'em until 5:00

It's whatever turns you on I guess
Lord knows I just can't get enough
Honky songs and honky tonk wine
Chasing that honky tonk stuff

As the years roll by
You'd think that old Jerry Lee
Would quit the booze-hearty ways
Rocking and rolling all night long
And working like a dog all day

Well I'll tell you I'm a fool about them women
Lord knows I just can't get enough
I'm talking about honky tonk songs, honky tonk wine
Chasing that honky tonk stuff

Now the wine don't take effect
The way it used to all night long
All I hear on that old jukebox
I someone did somebody wrong

But I guess it's different strokes for different folks
And I developed quite a taste
Of honky tonk songs and honky tonk wine
And chasing that honky tonk stuff
