Lyrics: Charley Pride. Honky Tonk Blues.

Well I left my home down
On a rural route
I told my papa
I'm goin' steppin' out

Forget the honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Well I went to a dance
And wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin'
Wishin' I could lose

That jumpin' honky tonk blues
The weary honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Well I stopped into
Every place in town
This city life has
Really got me down

I got the honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Gonna tuck my worries
Underneath my arm
Step right back
To my pappy's farm

Forget the honky tonk blues
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

Don't wanna be bothered
With the honky tonk blues

Pride, Charley
