Lyrics

Well my name is Mr. Honky Tonk
I'm from a little town
I like to drink that whiskey and to lay that hammer down
If you come around here chirpin' boy we might have to see about that
I might just introduce you to my aluminum baseball bat

If I catch you around my woman
That'll be a sight to see
Glad to meet you my name's honky tonk
I'm sure you've heard of me

Chorus:
I spend my nights here honky tonkin'
And my days in this here bar
Drinkin' whiskey from the bottle
And strumming my guitar
Well I try to spread my wings but don't make it very far
Yeah my name is Mr. Honky Tonk and I'll see y'all at the next bar

Well my name is Mr. Honky Tonk
I'm sure you know me well
I like to drink that bourbon and to raise a little hell
I like to hear that juke box play some George Jones or some Cash
If I hear that god damn pop country then I'll have to kick some ass


I promise it's a story boy that you will never tell
Please to meet you my name's Honky Tonk
I'm sure you know well

Repeat Chorus

Guitar solo

I'll be there Sunday morning when you wake up in your bed
When you've got the shakes and blurry eyes and feeling half past dead
It's meet you've got to thank boy for that aching in your head
So just have a beer and dry those tears and try to forget

I'll be there when you call and when you need a helping hand
Pleased to meet you my name's Honky Tonk
I heard you're my number one fan
