Honky Tonk Man
Life on the Honky Tonk Edge: Johnny Horton's Wild Ride
Lyrics
I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
I identify as a honky tonk man, and I struggle to control my actions
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
I enjoy socializing with girls to the music played on an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
When I run out of money, I resort to calling someone on the telephone
Callin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?
Specifically, I call out to "momma," asking if "daddy" can come home, indicating a desire for support
I'm livin' fast and dangerously, but I've got plenty of company
I lead a fast and risky lifestyle, but I'm not alone in this; I have plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
During the nighttime, when the moon rises and the sun sets
That's when I wanna see the lights of town
That's the time when I want to be in the city, seeing its lights
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
Reiteration: I am a honky tonk man, and my actions are hard to control
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
I find joy in dancing with girls to the tunes played on an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
When my financial resources are depleted, I resort to making a phone call
Callin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?
I call out to "momma," expressing a need for support from "daddy"
I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
Reiteration: I am a honky tonk man, struggling to curb my behaviors
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
I take pleasure in engaging with girls on the dance floor, accompanied by the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
When my funds are exhausted, I turn to the telephone for assistance
Callin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?
I repeat the plea to "momma" for "daddy" to come home and provide support
It takes a purdy little gal and a jug of wine
To create a honky tonk mindset, a charming lady and a jug of wine are essential
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
This combination is crucial in shaping the mentality suitable for the honky tonk lifestyle
With the jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound
The jukebox plays a moaning, characteristic honky tonk sound
That's when I wanna lay my money down
At this moment, I feel compelled to spend my money
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
Reiteration: I am a honky tonk man, struggling to rein in my impulses
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
I derive joy from dancing with girls to the melodies emitted by an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
When my financial resources are depleted, I turn to the telephone once more
Callin' he-ey momma can your daddy come home?
I repeat the call to "momma," seeking the return of "daddy" for assistance
