Well I just can't hang up my honky tonk boots / there ain't no way , it's something that I can't do
Well I stone cold country it's in my blood / there ain't no way i'm gonna give it up / I just can't hang up my honky tonk boots.

(Chorus)
Well I was born in a tavern in a corner booth / They slipped a little nipple on a Pabst Blue Ribbon can / When the band kicked in , well I do too / I kicked off the blankets and jumped in my boots / I've been a dance hall junkie since the day I was born / Raised on honky tonk hardwood floors / I just can't hang up my honky tonk boots.

I just can't give up my honky tonk ways / there ain't no way, it's a habit I just can't break / Well I was raised on a juke box with Haggard and Jones / Honky tonk women and the Rolling Stones / I just can't hang up my honky tonk boots.

(Chorus repeated)
Well I was born in a tavern in a corner booth / They slipped a little nipple on a Pabst Blue Ribbon can / When the band kicked in , well I do too / I kicked off the blankets and jumped in my boots / I've been a dance hall junkie since the day I was born / Raised on honky tonk hardwood floors / I just can't hang up my honky tonk boots.

Well I just can't hang up my honky tonk boots.
