Lonnie Mack Honky Tonk Man Lyrics

Hard livin' and hard lovin'
That's the only life I know
Well you name it, and I tried it
It takes a lot to start the show

When the bright lights get a little dimmer
I'm gonna feel my way around
I'm gonna skivvy somethin' up outta some dark corner
See if she'll let her hair hang down

But there she is and here I go
Checkin' for the ring on her hand
Yeah I'm a boom boom, barroom
Get down, right now, man

I'm a honky tonk man, ain't got no sense
I just hang around here 'til my money's all been spent
I'm a honky tonk man and I do have my fun
I'm gonna stay right here to see that it all gets done
I'm a honky tonk man (guitar solo)

You pick a date and hold up
Turn it around in the light
Between you and me, the way I see
It looks a little better at night

Sometimes we rock, sometimes we stop
It happens to the best of plans
I'm a boom boom, barroom
Get down, right now, man

I'm a honky tonk man, ain't got no sense
I just hang around here 'til my money's all been spent
I'm a honky tonk man and I do have my fun
I'm gonna stay right here to see that it all gets done

I'm a honky tonk man
Yeah I'm a honky tonk man.
I'm a honky tonk man (repeats 4 times)
