Jerry Jeff Walker - Honky Tonk Music lyrics

Every night I play the places Neon lights and smilin' faces People laugh and talk away the evenings while I play Ask myself, "Why do I do it?". Guess there must be somethin' to it. Getting' paid for doin' something I'd be doin' anyway [Chorus] And I'm just playing that honky tonk music That's the kind I like to play Just playing that honky tonk music That's the kind I like to play Wish that I could have a dollar For every drunk that I've heard holler Every barroom brawler I've seen just sleepin' off his fight. And all the stories I've been told Guess I'd have me a pot of gold Even if half the stories told Had turned out to be right. Chorus Seen a lot of women lied to And sometimes I've even tried to When the night is gettin' late And the ladies look so good I've been in bars I didn't care for I asked myself "What was it there for?" All in all I wouldn't changes things Even if I could Chorus
