Honky Tonk Moon

(album: Old 8x10 - 1988)

Dirt road in the twilght, woods so cool and dark.
Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks,
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me

Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues
Juke box pumping softly, lazy summer blues
Honky-tonk moon, keeps shining on my ba-by and me

Through the blue smoky haze, all through the haze
Trouble seems to melt away...
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
There's no hurry, no worry, things are going my way

My arms around my baby, shuffling on the floor
Cigarettes and saw-dust, squeaky old screen door.
Honk Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.

Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright
That old Hoot Owl is calling, every-things all right

Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.
Honky Tonk Moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me.
