Well I left my home down on the rural route
I told my paw I'm going steppin out and get the
Honky tonk blues

Well lord I got 'em

Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin wishin I could lose
Them jumpinhonky tonk blues

And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And leave thesehonky tonk blues
