Dwight Yoakam's spirited track captures the essence of a carefree, pleasure-seeking lifestyle. The protagonist revels in the thrill of nightlife, dancing with various women to the tunes of an old jukebox 🎶. His love for this hedonistic existence is evident, yet it comes at a cost; when his money runs out, he finds himself calling home for support. The song juxtaposes the joy and excitement of living "wild and dangerously" with the inevitable financial instability that accompanies such a lifestyle. Ultimately, it paints a vivid picture of someone caught in the cycle of seeking temporary thrills while relying on familial ties to sustain their escapades 💃📞.
Honky Tonk Man
Lyrics
Well I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone,
I'm on the telephone singing
Hey hey mama can your daddy come home
Well now I'm living wild and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
The moon comes up and the sun goes down
I can't wait to see the lights of town
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
And when my money's all gone,
I'm on the telephone singing
Hey hey mama can your daddy come home
Well I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
And when my money's all gone,
I'm on the telephone singing
Hey hey mama can your daddy come home
Hey now, a pretty little girl and a jug of wine
Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time
With the jukebox moaning those honky tonk sounds
I can't wait to lay my money down
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone,
I'm on the telephone singing
Hey hey mama can your daddy come home
I'm a honky tonk man
And I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl
To the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone,
I'm on the telephone singing
Hey hey mama can your daddy come home
