Lyrics
Honky Tonk Moon
Dirt road in the twilight
Woods so cool and dark
Up ahead pale neon
Somewhere a dog barks
Honky tonk moon keeps shining on my baby and me
Breaking up the pool balls
Chalking up the cues
Jukebox pumping softly
Lazy summer blues
Honky tonk moon keeps shining on my baby and me
Through the blue smoky haze
All through the days
Troubles seem to melt away
My heart's on a roll
I'm easy in my soul
There's no hurry, no worry
Things are going my way
My arms around my baby
Shuffling on the floor
Cigarettes and sawdust
Squeaky old screen door
Honky tonk moon keeps shining on my baby and me
Through the blue smoky haze
All through the days
Troubles seem to melt away
My heart's on a roll
I'm easy in my soul
There's no hurry, no worry
Things are going my way
Outside the dark has fallen
Stars are winking bright
An old hoot owl is calling
Everything's all right
Honky tonk moon keeps shining on my baby and me
Honky tonk moon keeps shining on my baby and me
