Chorus: 
                E 
I'm a honkytonk man and I can't seem to stop  
                           A                                E 
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox  
                        B 
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone  
           A                      B          E  
Hollerin, "Hey-hey, mama can your daddy come home?"  
 
E                     B 
I'm livin' fast an' a-dangerously  
                       E 
But I've got plenty of company  
         E                     B 
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down  
A                           B 
That's when I wanna see the lights of town  
 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo 
 
Chorus  
 
It takes a pretty little gal and a jug of wine  
That's what it takes to make a honkytonk, mine  
With the juke box a-moanin', a honkytonk sound  
That's when I wanna lay my money down
