I'm living fast and dangerously
"Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I want to see the lights of town
With the jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound
Callin' hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home?
Callin' hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home?
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But I've got plenty of company
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
That's when I wanna lay my money down
Callin' hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home?
