Honky Tonkitis

I've got a strong suspicion that my baby's coming down
With a mighty bad affliction that's been going around the town
I don't know who she caught it from but she sure is showing certain signs
Of having honky tonkitis and she's got it bad this time

I know she had it once or twice before I came along
But I was sure our love would be enough to keep her home
Now that old infection's coming back and things are looking sad
Cause she's got honky tonkitis and Lord she's got it bad

Honky tonkitis is the bending of the mind
It's whiskey drinking slowly sinking love destroying time
Barstool riding downhill sliding jukebox songs and wine
She's got honky tonkitis and she's got it bad this time

My baby's showing all the symptoms that I know so well
And I don't need a doctor's diagnosis just to tell
That this honky tonk addition is a sure and certain sign
That our love has fallen victim to the fever of the wine

Honky tonkitis is the bending of the mind
It's whiskey drinking slowly sinking love destroying time
Barstool riding downhill sliding jukebox songs and wine
She's got honky tonkitis and she's got it bad this time
Yes she's got honky tonkitis and she's got it bad this time
