I left my home                       I went to a dance
Down a rural route                   Wore ot my shoes
And told my folks                    Woke up this mornin'
I'm goin' steppin' out               Wishin' I could lose
To get the honkytonk blues           The jumpin' honkytonk blues
The jumpin' honkytonk blues          The weary honkytonk blues
Lord I got 'em                       Lord I'm sufferin'
I got the honkytonk blues            With the honkytonk blues

I stopped into                       When I get home again
Ev'ry place in town                  To Ma and Pa
This city life                       I know they gonna lay
Has really got me down               Down the law
I got the honkytonk blues            About the honkytonk blues
I got the honkytonk blues            The jumpin' honkytonk blues
Lord I'm sufferin'                   Lord I'm sufferin'
With the honkytonk blues             With the honkytonk blues

Gonna tuck my worries                When I get home again
Underneath my arm                    To Ma and Pa
And get right back                   I know they gonna lay
To my Pappy's farm                   Down the law
And leave the honkytonk blues        About the honkytonk blues
Forget the honkytonk blues           The jumpin' honkytonk blues
I don't want to be bothered          Lord I'm sufferin'
With the honkytonk blues             With the honkytonk blues
