lyrics

THE HONKY-TONK LIFE

Coffee’s strong and hot
There’s lots of pot
Hippie speed-ballin’ again
Last night we had one hell of a show
You know the party don’t end on the road

Baby don’t leave me I’m lonely
Don’t leave me alone in the night
‘Cause I’m getting older
The nights they are colder
Out livin’ the honky-tonk life

I try to be the man I should be
But some nights I end up on the floor
What the hell would they mean yea the songs I sing
If I never been knocked down before

Baby don’t leave me I’m lonely
Don’t leave me alone in the night
‘Cause I’m getting older
The nights they are colder
Out livin’ the honky-tonk life

No tears do I cry through these blood-shot eyes
Just trying to make it through the night
But the company I keep and the people we meet
Got us out here walkin’ the line

Baby don’t leave me I’m lonely
Don’t leave me alone in the night
‘Cause I’m getting older
The nights they are colder
Out livin’ the honky-tonk life
