Story Behind The Song

A very long story involving several influential people in my life. One old friend(now deceased) used to announce with great drama," Let us meet at the local bar and we will smoke cigarettes,drink beer and tell lies. Another person in my life used to refer to anything real old as having been around,"Since Moby Dick was a minner."(slang for Minnow)

Song Description

People get in a rut, and life is humdrum. Remembering how things used to be, and the fun they used to have with friends, music, dancing and living life to the fullest.

Lyrics

well if we stay home one more night, I think we;ll go insane.
Them tv shows and videos have been burnin' out our brain.
I want to turn em off and get turned on, the way we used to do.
so honey if you'll honky tonk with me, I'll honky tonk with you.

so, let's go honky tonkin' like we used to do.
dancin' gettin' drunk and acting like a fool.
with that red dress on you sure look like a winner; we aint been out since Moby Dick was a "minner", and,
I just wanta go honky tonk tonight.

Now Punkin it's been too long since,
I danced you 'round the floor.
Whispered sweet things in your ear,
and a whole lot more.
I wanta hold ya tight, when we dance tonight,
and if I may assume,
when we get home about midnight, I'm gonna chase you 'round the room.

So, lets go honky tonkin' like we used to do.
dancin' gettin' drunk and acting like a fool.
we'll be scootin' some boots with the girls and guys,
smokin cigaretts, drinkin' beer and tellin' lies.
I just wanta go honky tonk tonight.
C'mon baby, lets honky tonk tonight.
