Capo 1


C
When I was a baby

My sweet mom told me

Go around this world
    G                C
And see all you can see

Find a good woman

Get a job and settle down
                      G
But I could not stay away
                   C
From the lights of town
F
I had to go where the music is loud
    C                  G           C
And I fell in with the honky tonk crowd




(Chorus)

C
So let the jukebox play

Let's dance all night
                         G
When you get down on the floor
                     C
You know you got it right

Where there's a neon light
                      F
That's where I'll be found
      C              G
Cuz I feel right at home
                   C
With a honky tonk crowd




There was a debutant in Dallas
That nearly blew my mind
She was raised on caviar and real fine wine
She didn't like hillbilly music
And that was more than I could take
I left the little cowgirl away in the Lonestar State
Cuz I had to go where the music is loud
I'm right at home with a honky tonk crowd


(Chorus)
