The King Of Honky Tonk Lyrics

Those songs coming out of the jukebox, remind me what I'm doing here

Make it a double, if it's no trouble, I'll chase it with another beer

And it's the crying steel that gives me a chill, and I can feel that melody

The king of honky-tonk is haunting me

She's acting single, hits too close to home

staring at an empty glass, sitting here alone

And this is getting out of hand, mister can't you see

The king of honky-tonk is haunting me

I came here to ease my sorrow, but it seems I've only made it worse

And it's a crying shame, this drinking thing has turned into a curse

So before I drown, won't you turn that down and put me out of my misery

The king of honky-tonk is haunting me

She's acting single, hits too close to home

I'm staring at an empty glass, sitting here alone

And this is getting out of hand, mister can't you see

The king of honky-tonk is haunting me

Lord, the king of honky-tonk is haunting me
