  			E 
Well I asked you where you were last night 
    A              E 
But you did not reply 

I don't know why I asked you babe 
       F#            Bm 
Cause all you do is lie 
E 
Well you say that we are so in love  
       A                  E 
But I don't believe its true 

Let me tell you baby 
              Bm            E 
I can go out honky tonkin' too 


Well I hear all these stories 
From your so-called friends 
Let me tell you baby 
That those stories never seem to end 
Well I don't have to sit through all of this 
While you treat me like you do 
Let me tell you baby 
I can go out honky tonkin' too 

Chorus 
A                      E 
Honky Tonkin' every night 
A               F#            Bm 
Honky Tonkin' till the mornin' light 
E 
I can drink and party down 
    A                E 
And act just like a fool 

Let me tell you baby 
                Bm         E 
I can go out honky tonkin' too 


Well I went out honky tonkin' 
Just to see what it was like 
The lights were on the stars were out 
And the moon was shinin' bright 
Well I saw a pretty gal  
And we danced to a few 
Life is so much better  
Now that I'm honky tonkin' too
