Well, I left my home down on the Rural Route
Told my pa I was going stepping out
And get the honky tonk blues

[Chorus]
The honky tonk blues
Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Stopped into every place in town
This city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues

[Chorus]

Went out last night, I wore out my shoes
Woke up this morning wishing I could lose
Those jumping honky tonk blues

[Chorus]

I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And lose the honky tonk blues

[Chorus]
