Marty Stuart - Honky Tonker lyrics

Well, every evening when the news is over
And the moon is a climbing high
I crank up my old pickup trick
And baby down the road I fly
Just to find a spot down in the parking lot
Of a place they call Big Jeans
Then I walk on in and the night begins
In the same familiar scene

I'm a honky tonker and I feel all right
Yeah, I'm a honker tonker i'm a neon light

Well, my momma told me and my poppa told me
"Son there's more to life than beer
Why ain't you more like your brother Drew
He's a petroleum engineer
Why don't you cut your ties with
All them old bar flies
And try to straighten up your life
You need to quit that drinkin'
Start a thinkin' 'bout a house
Some kids and a wife"

But daddy, I'm a honky tonker
Yeah, and you can't dig that
I'm a honky tonker i'm a juke joint cat

Yeah they tell me I'm lazy
Baby tell me I'm crazy
Tell me I'm not so smart
Just the same ole sins
I say it's self-defense
Well, I sure got a happy heart
All right, all right

Well, every evening when the news is over
And the moon is a climbing high
I crank up my old pickup truck
And baby down the road
Baby down the road I fly

I'm a honky tonker honey, that's my style
Said I'm a honky tonker
Yeah, I'm a deuces wild
Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild
I'm a honky tonker and I can't help that
Yeah, I'm a honky tonker
Just a juke joint cat honky tonkin'
That's just fine yeah, honky tonkin'
Baby gonna walk no line no, no, no
