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
