Chorus: I'm a honkytonk man and I can't seem to stop I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone Hollerin, "Hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home?" I'm livin' fast an' a-dangerously But I've got plenty of company When the moon comes up and the sun goes down That's when I wanna see the lights of town Chorus Solo Chorus It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine That's what it takes to make a honkytonk, mine With the juke box a-moanin', a honkytonk sound That's when I wanna lay my money down Chorus
