Honky Tonk Song

Lyrics: Tillis, Peddy
Music: Tillis, Peddy

A Webb Pierce song played by the David Nelson Band

Well I got me a room in a cheap hotel
My head was a spinning and I didn't feel well
I laid right down tried to go to sleep
But the band kept playing in the joint underneath
I picked up my pillow when I covered up my head
But the band kept a playing and a shaking my bed

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk same old song
Honky tonk my money's all gone
Honky tonk she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a-playing with a honky tonk beat

Well I'm so blue my baby's gone
She took all my money and left me all alone
I'm tryin' to forget her but I don't know what to do
The honky tonk song keeps a-leaking through
I picked up my pillow and I covered up my head
But the band kept a-playing and a-shaking my bed

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk same old song
Honky tonk my money's all gone
Honky tonk she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a-playing with a honky tonk beat

Honky tonk all night long
Honky tonk same old song
Honky tonk my money's all gone
Honky tonk she done me wrong
I turned and I tossed but I couldn't go to sleep
'Cause the band kept a-playing with a honky tonk beat
