I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis I tried to take her upstairs for a ride I had to heave her right across my shoulder I just don't seem to drink you off my mind Honky tonk, honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris As naked as the day that I will die The sailors, they're so charming there in Paris They just don't seem to sail you off my mind It's a honky tonk, honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues Honky tonk, honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues Honky tonk, honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

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

I was in a tunnel And couldn't see the light And whenever I'd look up I couldn't see the sky Sometimes when I'm standin' It seems like I done walked for miles And my heart could be cryin' Dead in the middle of a smile But then I climbed the hills And saw the mountains I hollered help 'cause I was lost Then I felt the strong wind Heard a small voice sayin' The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Come on and set me free, whoa Now in the midst of my battle All hope was gone Downtown in a rushed crowd And felt all alone And every now and then I felt like I would lose my mind I've been racin' for years And still no finish line, oh But then I climbed the hills And saw the mountains (Mountains) I hollered help 'cause I was lost Then I felt the strong wind And then a small voice sayin' The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I can feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Come on and set me free Somehow my beginning stepped right in (Right in) Then faith became my friend (My friend) And now I can depend On the voices of the wind When it's sayin' (Sayin') The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I can feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Won't you come and set me free Won't you set me free The storm is over (The storm is over now) And I can see the sunshine (Somewhere beyond the clouds) I can feel Heaven, yeah (Heaven is over me) Won't you come and set me free
