When I was a baby
My sweet mama told me
Go around this world and see all you can see.
Find and date a good woman
Get a job and settle down.
But I could not stay away from the lights of town.
I had to go where the music is loud
I fell in with the honky tonk crowd.
So let the jukebox play
Let's dance all night.
When you get down on the floor
You know you got it right.
Where there's a neon light
That's where I'll be found
I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd.
There was a debutante in Dallas
Who really blew my mind.
She was raised on caviar and real fine wine.
She didn't like hillbilly music
That was more than I could take
I left the little cowgirl waitin' in the Lone Star State.
I had to go where the music is loud
I'm right at home with the honky tonk crowd.
So let the jukebox play
Let's dance all night.
When you get down on the floor
You know you got it right.
Where there's a neon light
That's where I'll be found
I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd.
Where there's a neon light
That's where I'll be found
I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd.
