Honky Tonk Song
Escape to the Honky Tonk: A Tale of Hardships and Honky Tonk Redemption
Lyrics
I saw those blue lights flashin'
I witnessed police emergency lights flashing.
Over my left shoulder
Behind me or in my vicinity.
He walked right up and said,
A law enforcement officer approached me.
""Get off that riding mower""
The officer instructed me to stop using a riding lawn mower.
I said Sir, let me explain,
I attempted to justify my actions.
Before you put me in the tank""
Before being taken into custody or arrested.
She took my keys away
My access to the means of transportation was confiscated.
And now she won't drive me to drink
Now, the person won't facilitate or assist my drinking habit.
I need a honky tonk song, a cold cold beer
I desire a lively, traditional country music song, along with a cold beer.
A hardwood floor, a smoky atmosphere
An environment characterized by wooden floors and a hazy, smoke-filled ambiance.
A pocket full of change to last me all night long
Having enough money to last throughout the night.
I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song
I crave listening to Hank Williams' style of mournful honky tonk music.
He didn't show me much compassion
The officer showed little sympathy or understanding.
When I tried to walk that line
Trying to adhere to the rules or expectations set by the law.
As he put those handcuffs on me
As the officer restrained me using handcuffs.
I said, ""Give me one more try""
I pleaded for another chance.
He never even cracked a smile
He didn’t display any amusement or leniency.
When he threw me in the car
When he placed me in the police vehicle.
I said, ""Sir, if you don't mind,
I requested to be dropped off at a bar.
Oh, would you drop me off at a bar?""
Seeking permission to go to a drinking establishment.
I need a honky tonk song, a cold cold beer
I want a lively, traditional country music song, along with a cold beer.
A hardwood floor, a smoky atmosphere
An environment characterized by wooden floors and a hazy, smoke-filled ambiance.
A pocket full of change to last me all night long
Having enough money to last throughout the night.
I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song
I yearn to listen to the mournful honky tonk music in the style of Hank Williams.
I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song
Repetition of the desire to hear Hank Williams-style honky tonk music.
