Well I left my home down on a rural route
And I told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out
To get the honky tonk blues the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
In and out of every joint in this town
The city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues the honky tonk blues
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
guitar
I'm gonna slap my boogie underneath my arm
Scud right back in my pappy's farm
And lose these honky tonk blues the jumpin' honky tonk blues
Well Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
steel
Well I left my home down on a rural route...
