Honky Tonk Hell - John Landry

Woman left me with the blues And I know just how I got 'em I see a fifth of Jimmy Beam I'm gonna drink it to the bottom I ain't tryna hurt nobody I ain't prone to give a damn I got me nothin' left to lose I'm in a honky-tonk mood I'm in a honky-tonk mood That's where I'll be all night If anybody's lookin' for me Look for a neon light, oh We're playin' here tonight And then I'm playin' here tomorrow I got a whiskey and a tune I'm in a honky-tonk mood If I get to gettin' loud Don't you worry 'bout it, boys 'Cause gettin' over this heartache Is gonna make a little noise If I start to dancin' 'round Don't try and pull me off the floor I'm just a-kickin' up my boots I'm in a honky-tonk mood I'm in a honky-tonk mood That's where I'll be all night If anybody's lookin' for me Look for a neon light, oh We're playin' here tonight And then I'm playin' here tomorrow I got a whiskey and a tune I'm in a honky-tonk mood I got a whiskey and a tune I'm in a honky-tonk mood

(Arthur Leo Owens - Sanger D. Shafer) She'd be hurt if she knew I was drinking Cause one's too much and twelve just ain't enough She knows how it messes up my thinking How it makes me look for someone else to love. I get honky tonk amnesia And I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long. --- Instrumental --- She'll accept my story without question About the overtime I'm puttin' in If someone calls she'll tell them that I'm resting While I wonder what I've done and where I've been. I get honky tonk amnesia And I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long. And sometimes it lasts all night long...

She was singin' with the band when I walked in with all my friends I said "Damn, looks like a pretty good time" Pulled some cash, paid the cover Then got drinks, then got drunker Sang along to some Sweet Carloline Then she walked up to meet us, I said "Do you like tequila?" She said "That's my middle name" So we shot Casamigos, she kissed me right on the cheek and Then left her number and walked away, yeah I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker She's gonna hurt somebody up in this bar I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker Lucky for me, I got a honky tonk heart Take it baby, take it Race it baby, race it Break it baby, break my honky tonk heart I was kickin' myself, my boys we're givin me hell Hell, even I thought I'd dropped the ball Until I looked across the room, she looked at me like make a move I flipped the boys the bird and I was off So I took a chance and asked her to dance Got her hand in my hand, started spinnin' Before we got to the end of the song She let some ol' two step Fred cut in, gone again, man I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker She's gonna hurt somebody up in this bar I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker Lucky for me, I got a honky tonk heart Take it baby, take it Race it baby, race it Break it baby, break my honky tonk heart I'm 'bout to close out, I'm done with downtown She disappeared like a ring of smoke I guess I give up, I'm walkin' to the truck Now look whose number's ligthin' up my phone I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker She's gonna hurt somebody up in this bar I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker Lucky for me, I got a honky tonk heart I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker She's gonna hurt somebody up in this bar I think she might be a honky tonk heartbreaker Lucky for me, I got a honky tonk heart Take it baby, take it (Oh, take it) Race it baby, race it (Baby, race it) Break it baby, break my honky tonk heart (My honky tonk) Take it baby, take it (yeah) Race it baby, race it Break it baby, break my honky tonk heart
