Chorus:
E
I'm a honkytonk man and I can't seem to stop
A E
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
B
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
A B E
Hollerin, "Hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home?"
E B
I'm livin' fast an' a-dangerously
E
But I've got plenty of company
E B
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
A B
That's when I wanna see the lights of town
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honkytonk, mine
With the juke box a-moanin', a honkytonk sound
That's when I wanna lay my money down
Chorus
