Honky Tonk Toys

(album: Friday Night Blues - 1980)

Annie Mae Johnson gave birth to a child
In a room in the back of this bar
She named her Rainbow 'cause she came at midnight
In the light of a blue neon star

Rainbow brought sunshine to Annie Mae's life
While Annie served drinks to the boys
She'd sit on the floor in the back of this bar
And play with her honky tonk toys

There were honky tonk toys like beer tops and beer clocks
But her most favorite toys of all
Was a beer carton cradle and tablecloth blanket
And a little brown beer bottle doll

Rainbow turned eighteen two summers ago
Old enough to go out on her own
She wanted to know what her daddy was like
So she left her honky tonk home

Annie Mae still loved the man she divorced
Though he became rainbow's first choice
Now all that's left of Annie Mae's Rainbow
Are three little honkey tonk toys

And there were honky tonk toys like beer tops and beer clocks
But her most favorite toys of all
Was a beer carton cradle and tablecloth blanket
And a little brown beer bottle doll
