Well I'm a honky tonk man, and I can't seem to stop,

Well now, I'm livin' wild and dangerously,
    A                  E
But I've got plenty of company.
                               B
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down,
A                       E  
I can't wait to see the lights of town.

A pretty little girl and a jug of wine,

Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time.
                               B
With the jukebox moanin' those honky tonk sounds,
A                      E 
I can't wait to lay my money down.
