Well, I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
Yeah, I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone
I'm on the telephone
A hollering, "Hey, hey, mama
Can your daddy come home?"
Yeah, just a pretty little gal
And a jug of wine
That's what it takes
To make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moaning
A honky tonk sound
That's when I want
To lay my money down
Cause I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
Yeah, I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone
I'm on the telephone
A hollering, "Hey, hey, mama
Can your daddy come home?"
Well, I'm living fast
And dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up
And the sun goes down
That's when I wanna
See the lights of town
Cause I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
Yeah, I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone
I'm on the telephone
A hollering, "Hey, hey, mama
Can your daddy come home?"
