Hard Days And Honky Tonk Nights

(album: Yours Truly - 1991)

Well you wake up aching from work done the day before
With the memories of good times laying all over the floor
Yeah you're running around last night like the world's gonna end
And you're lying here thinking of starting all over again

On those neon nights
You're bigger than life
Yeah you act like you're getting paid to see all of the sights
Gonna shine so bright
Till they turn out the lights
On those hard days and honky tonk nights

Got a hard-nosed boss-man thinking 'bout docking your pay
While you're thinking about the girl downtown whose love won't wait
Taking your last break watching the hands go 'round
And riding that old brass rail when the sun goes down

On those neon nights
You're bigger than life
Yeah you act like you're getting paid to see all of the sights
Gonna shine so bright
Till they turn out the lights
On those hard days and honky tonk nights
Just hard days and honky tonk nights
