I Honky Tonked All the Way Back Home

I left one morning from Oakland on the San Francisco Bay
A knapsack on my back and I throwed my money away
I started back to Virginia, two thousand miles to go
And I honky-tonked all the way back home

I stopped by in Phoenix in an Arizona dive
I found a woman Mary who turned me on inside
Then on to Dallas where the Texas T does flow
And I honky-tonked every step of that old road

Yes, I honky-tonked every step of the way
I needed smiles and sunshine, some loving tucked away
The wine kept right on flowing and the sun never let me down
And I honky-tonked, yes, I honky-tonked
Well, I honky-tonked every step of that old road

I stopped off in Lexington, down to my last cigarette
I watched the horses running and I saw those suckers bet
Course I dropped a fin or two on a crippled bag of bones
But I honky-tonked all the way back home

Yes, I honky-tonked every step of the way
I needed smiles and sunshine, some loving tucked away
The wine kept right on flowing and the sun never let me down
And I honky-tonked, yes, I honky-tonked
Well, I honky-tonked every step of that old road
