Honky Tonk Side of Town

Don't you cry don't you moan
And hang your head down all night long
That ol' feeling sure ain't nothing new
It's in your walk, it's in your talk
There's only one way to shake it off
You got to get to it before it gets to you

So put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop
There's only one thing I've found
That'll turn it all around
The blues can't do no business
On the honky tonk side of town

You gotta slip, you gotta slide
There're gonna try to nail your hide
Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chance
So get mean and get slick
You gotta pull out every trick
'Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to dance

So Put a quarter in that jukebox and let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop
There's only one thing I've found
That'll turn it all around
The blues can't do no business
On the honky tonk side of town

Well, you can walk that walk
And talk that talk and boogie woogie 'til you shake it off
No, the blues can't do no business
The blues can't do no business
The blues can't do no business
On the honky tonk side of town
