Rumor At The Honky Tonk

Lyrics: Barry Flast
Music: Barry Flast

Played by Kingfish in January 1985 when Brent Mydland and Bill Kreutzmann were with the band.

The day I left for the road
You made a promise to me
That you'd stay away from
Your lovers who you used to see

There's a rumor at the honky tonk
That you've got something going on
The day I see you at the honky tonk
That's the day that I'll be gone

If I hadn't come back
I probably wouldn't have heard
That you've been out drinking
Is that the way you keep your word

There's a rumor at the honky tonk
That you've got something going on
The day I see you at the honky tonk
That's the day that I'll be gone

So keep your newest affair
I don't much care what you do
I gave you my heart, girl
Now I get nothing from you

Screw the rumour at the honky tonk
That you got something going on
Although /I saw you at the honky tonk
You won't know it till I'm gone

There's a rumor at the honky tonk
That you've got something going on
The day I see you at the honky tonk
That's the day that I'll be gone

There's a rumor at the honky tonk
That you've got something going on
The day I see you at the honky tonk
That's the day that I'll be gone

There's a rumor
