Honky Tonk Heroes - Jackson Taylor & The Sinners

Low down leaving sun Done, did everything that needs done Woe is me, why can I see? I'd best be leaving well enough alone Them neon lighting nights couldn't stay out of fights Keep a-haunting me in memories Well, there's one in every crowd, for crying out loud Why was it always turning out to be me? Where does it go? The good Lord only knows Seems like it was just the other day I was down at Green Gables, a-hawking them tables And generally blowing all my hard-earned pay Piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be For lovable losers, no-account boozers And honky-tonk heroes like me, hey-hey Where does it go? The good Lord only knows Seems like it was just the other day I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables Generally blowing all of my hard-earned pay The piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be For lovable losers and no-account boozers And honky-tonk heroes like me (little boogie) Where do it go? The good Lord only knows And seems like it was just the other day I was down at Green Gables and hawking them tables And generally blowing all of my hard-earned pay Well, my piano rolled blues, danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be For them lovable losers and no-account boozers And honky-tonk heroes like me, yeah

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...
