Lyrics

"HONKYTONK LOVER"
(Stew Hooey)

NOW I WAS RAISED ON A STACK OF ROCK n' ROLL RECORDS AND SOMETIMES THEY MADE ME SMILE-
CRUISIN' ALONG TO A CHUCK BERRY SONG- DREAMIN' BOUT THE MIRACLE MILE-
BUT AFTER SO MANY YEARS AND TOO MANY TEARS, I NEED A SOUND THAT'LL SOOTHE MY MIND-
AND GIRL WHEN YOU CAME ALONG, I WAS SOOTHED IN THE NICK OF TIME

NOW I'M YOUR HONKYTONK LOVER 'TIL THE DAY THAT I DIE,
WITH YOUR LOVIN' ARMS AROUND ME FOR AN ALIBI-
SO ROCK n' ROLL PAPA DON'T PLAY ME NO "LOUIE LOUIE"-
AND SWEET MAYBELLINE, LET'S NOT MAKE A SCENE, BUT YOU JUST DON'T SATISFY-
LIKE THE HILLBILLY SOUND OF A HARDSCRABBLE LULLABY

NOW I GOT OVERDUE BILLS AND A HARD ROW TO TIL, BUT IT JUST DON'T PHASE ME NONE-
CUZ WHEN YOU COME HOME I KNOW WE'LL BE ALONE, SNUGGLIN' WITH THE RADIO ON-
AND AFTER SO MANY YEARS AND TOO MANY TEARS, GOT A SONG I CAN CALL MY OWN,
SO BABY LET'S HIT THE LIGHTS AND WE'LL DANCE 'TIL THE BREAK OF DAWN

CUZ I'M YOUR HONKYTONK LOVER 'TIL THE DAY THAT I DIE,
WITH YOUR LOVIN' ARMS AROUND ME FOR AN ALIBI-
SO ROCK n' ROLL PAPA DON'T PLAY ME NO "LOUIE LOUIE"-
AND SWEET MAYBELLINE, LET'S NOT MAKE A SCENE, BUT YOU JUST DON'T SATISFY-
LIKE THE HILLBILLY SOUND OF A HARDSCRABBLE LULLABY

(SOLO)

NOW I'M YOUR HONKYTONK LOVER 'TIL THE DAY THAT I DIE,
WITH YOUR LOVIN' ARMS AROUND ME FOR AN ALIBI-
SO ROCK n' ROLL PAPA DON'T PLAY ME NO "LOUIE LOUIE"-
AND SWEET MAYBELLINE, LET'S NOT MAKE A SCENE, BUT YOU JUST DON'T SATISFY-
LIKE THE HILLBILLY SOUND OF A HARDSCRABBLE LULLABY-
LIKE THE HILLBILLY SOUND OF A SLIDE ON A FRIDAY NIGHT-
LIKE THE HILLBILLY SOUND OF A HARDSCRABBLE LULLABY
