E
Well I asked you where you were last night
A E
But you did not reply
I don't know why I asked you babe
F# Bm
Cause all you do is lie
E
Well you say that we are so in love
A E
But I don't believe its true
Let me tell you baby
Bm E
I can go out honky tonkin' too
Well I hear all these stories
From your so-called friends
Let me tell you baby
That those stories never seem to end
Well I don't have to sit through all of this
While you treat me like you do
Let me tell you baby
I can go out honky tonkin' too
Chorus
A E
Honky Tonkin' every night
A F# Bm
Honky Tonkin' till the mornin' light
E
I can drink and party down
A E
And act just like a fool
Let me tell you baby
Bm E
I can go out honky tonkin' too
Well I went out honky tonkin'
Just to see what it was like
The lights were on the stars were out
And the moon was shinin' bright
Well I saw a pretty gal
And we danced to a few
Life is so much better
Now that I'm honky tonkin' too
