Lyrics:

Well, I left my home down on the rural route
I told my pa I'm going steppin' out

And get the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Well, I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishin' I could lose

Them jumpin' honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Well, I stopped into every place in town
This city life has really got me down

I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got em
Got the honky tonk blues

I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm

And leave these honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues
