Honky Tonkin' (I Guess I Done Me Some)

Lyrics: Delbert McClinton
Music: Delbert McClinton

Played by the New Riders of the Purple Sage.

Thanks but no thanks baby, I already got more troubles than I need
Thanks but no thanks baby, I already got more troubles than I need
I don't want no lonely lustful woman's irate husband after me

I've been around a little bit, I've got me some stories I could tell
I've been around a while now, and I've known some lovely women rather well
I've been dazed and amazed, I've been a witness to a redbone cajun spell

Honky tonkin', I guess I done me some
I've seen the bullets in a chamber fom the other end of the gun
I've been to lots of battles that weren't even to being won
Honky tonkin', I guess I done me some

I've been around a little bit, I've got me some stories I could tell
I've been around a while now, and I've known some lovely women rather well
I've been dazed and amazed, I've been a witness to a redbone cajun spell

Honky tonkin', I guess I done me some
I've seen the bullets in a chamber fom the other end of a gun
I've been to lots of battles that weren't even worth being won
Honky tonkin', I guess I done me some
