Lyrics:
habit Love tight blue jeans on a cute cowgirl
I got this honky-tonk habit I can't shake my Jones for Ernest and Merle
I used to drink a filth of jack
And you're another one
She knows all the arts of love
She'll give your heart a twirl
'Cause she's just a honky-tonk girl
Don't be fooled by kisses
Lord they fuss and fight oh love is war
Boys a pretty girl can tear your heart in half
Me and Jimmy Lee we just sit back and laugh
It's a honky tonk
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Neon lights flashing bright 'til you're almost hypnotized
Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by
I did some honky tonk healin' to get me over you
It took some neon nurses around the clock to pull me through
I was in critical condition my heart
And you're another one
She knows all the arts of love
She'll give your heart a twirl
'Cause she's just a honky-tonk girl
Don't be fooled by kisses
the tourists in and Ray keeps them away
Let there be country and let the country play
Let there be country
Ernest Tubb's got all of the soul he's had for
Coming To A Honky Tonk Near You
Chorus
Coming To A Honky Tonk Near You
appearing nearly every night
the heart you’ve torn in two
If you ever
gettin' by and gettin' high and hope we never part
don't blame me it's my honky tonk heart
don't blame me it's my honky tonk heart
a honky tonk Christmas
But I'll be over you by New Year's Eve
"Blue Christmas" turn it up I want to hear it
So I can unwrap all them memories in my mind
matter what
The shoes you got
(The shoes you got)
I´m just a boogie woogie mellow
Yellow honky tonk lovin' man
Cryin' by the phone
(Waiting for a call)
All this country music will be the death of me
Don't bury my body, let it sink into the sea
Where I'll meet Ernest Tubb and Bill Bixby
Yeah he's
Don't be fool by big blue eyes by a smile or a golden curl
Cause she'll love you now and then break every vow cause she's just a honky tonk girl
Don't be fool by big blue eyes by a smile or a golden curl
Cause she'll love you now and then break every vow cause she's just a honky tonk girl
And I'm out here takin' another one
For the honky tonk team tonight
My heart's as empty as my future
And my future's as empty as that jar
And if this show
mind
And I'm out here takin' another one
For the honky tonk team tonight
My heart's as empty as my future
And my future's as empty as that jar
And if
Written by Redd Stewart and Ernest Tubb
(As performed by George Jones)
When the postman delivered the letter
Well, it filled her old heart full
After eight long years, of higher education
So here's to me
I finally passed the bar
As I drove by that ol' honky tonk
Still tuggin at my heart
I
what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Neon lights flashin' bright 'til you're almost hypnotized
Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy
heart somehow sometime some place
This is gonna work
Oh but what if I run out of honky tonks
Before I get over her
Shut down another bar
Try
Gadsden, Alabama
My name is Wayne, I'm from Alabama
Here's the back story
I just fell off the turnip truck with Ernest Tubb
I'm 33, I've got 3 kids

derelict, workin' for that paycheck
Dreamin' about singin' in Honky Tonks (Honky Tonks)
Head strong, right or wrong, Fight for everything you want
A lot
and sounded mighty fine
When I looked out on the dance floor my heart skipped a beat
She was out there by herself she was dancing all alone
Her boots were made
