Honky Tonk Crowd
Dancing with the Neon Lights: Exploring the Honky Tonk Lifestyle
Lyrics
When I was a baby, my sweet momma told me
Recalling advice from his mother as a baby to explore the world and settle down.
Go around this world and see all that you can see
Encouragement to experience all aspects of life.
Find a good woman, get a job and settle down
Suggestion to find a good woman, work, and establish a stable life.
But I could not stay away from the lights of town
Admission of the inability to resist the allure of city lights.
I had to go where the music is loud
Desire to be where the music is loud.
I fell in with the honky tonk crowd
Joining the honky-tonk lifestyle and community.
So let the jukebox play, let's dance all night
Advocating for enjoying music and dancing throughout the night.
When you get down on the floor you know you've got it right
Feeling a sense of achievement when dancing on the floor.
Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found
Being drawn to places illuminated by neon lights.
Well, I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd
Expressing comfort and belonging within the honky-tonk lifestyle.
There's was debutante in Dallas, that nearly blew my mind
Encounter with a debutante in Dallas with refined tastes.
She was raised on caviar and real fine wine
Description of her privileged background with caviar and fine wine.
She didn't like hillbilly music and that was more than I could take
Conflict arising from her dislike of hillbilly music.
I left that lovely little cowgirl waiting in the Lonestar state
Leaving the debutante behind due to musical differences.
'Cause I had to go where the music is loud
Reiterating the attraction to places with loud music.
I'm right at home with the honky tonk crowd
Reaffirming the sense of belonging with the honky-tonk crowd.
So let the jukebox play, let's dance all night
Encouraging the continuation of dancing to the jukebox.
When you get down on the floor you know you've got it right
Feeling confident when dancing on the floor.
Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found
Expressing attraction to places illuminated by neon lights.
Well, I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd
Reiterating the comfort and sense of home within the honky-tonk lifestyle.
Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found
Emphasizing the association with neon-lit environments.
'Cause I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd
Reaffirming the sense of belonging with the honky-tonk crowd.
