Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?
[Verse 2]
I'm livin' fast and a dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I wanna see the lights of town
[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?
[Verse 4]
I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?
[Verse 5]
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound
That's when I wanna lay my money down
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Hollerin' hey, hey mama, can your daddy come home?
