[ guitar ] Well my heart starts beatin' when the sun starts sinking low Yeah my heart starts beatin' when the sun starts sinking low And when the shadows fall well it's time for me to go [ piano - guitar ] Well I'm a honky tonk night time man... And when I get my rest in the daytime I do my runnin' round at night Honky tonk night time man
