Honky-Tonk Blues Lyrics by Richard Thompson

Small Town Romance

0

[Verse 1]
Well, I left my home down on the rural route
I told my pa, "I'm goin' steppin' out
To get the honky tonk blues"
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I've got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

[Verse 2]
Well, I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin' wishin' I could lose
Them jumpin' honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I've got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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
Well Lord, I got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
Scat right back to my pappy's farm
Leave these honky tonk blues
Yeah, the honky tonk blues
Well Lord, I've got 'em
I got the honky tonk blues

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Thank you very much
It's gonna be my last song
Thank you, thank you very much
Good night
Richard Thompson
