A Honky Tonk Piano
A Honky Tonk Piano
I woke up all alone
My money was all gone
but I didn’t feel like cryin’ any tears
A redhead I would guess
Got me into this mess
A honky tonk piano’s in my ears.
I remember dancin’
Nothin’ ‘bout romancin’
Prob’ly left my money on the bar
That seems more than likely
My eyes ain’t so slightly
Been drinkin’ my share of that Lone Star
I should stop this drinkin’
That’s what I been thinkin’
Wonder who the redhead was I met.
Guess I shouldn’t worry
I ain’t in no hurry
Don’t know what town I’m in I’ll bet.
Guess I should take a wife
Give up this ramblin’ life
Been at this for God knows many years
I see that neon sign
And then I’m feelin’ fine
A honky tonk piano’s in my ears.
Yeah, there’s that neon sign
I’m feelin’ mighty fine,
A honky tonk piano’s in my ears.
