The Honky Tonk Man In Me

The Honky Tonk Man in Me

I should’ve started before, I didn’t know it would be such a hard thing
Pickin’ out a tune on my guitar that I’m gonna sing for her
It has to be about love and moonlight and everything she likes
What am I gonna do, she’s expecting me to sing it tonight

CHORUS: By the light of the silvery moon
Hell, I might get it right
If I try real hard by June
I’m in the mood for love
But she ain’t gonna be, no she ain’t gonna be
And I can thank old Hank
For the Honky Tonk man in me

This is going too slow, my fingers say no to this love song
They wanna play grooves like honky tonk blues, that’s all wrong oh my
No matter how hard I try, it keeps comin out the same thing
The rhythm takes a hold of me soon as I start to sing

CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:

CHORUS:
I can thank old Hank
For the Honky Tonk man in me
