[Chorus]
Well, I'm a honky tonk Eman and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a Awhirl to the music of an old jukebEox
But when my money's all B7gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey, Ehey, mama can your daddy come Ehome

When the moon comes up and the B7sun goes down
AI can't wait to see the Elights of town
