Honky Tonk Man

Well I've never seen you look quite so sad,
And I've never felt me feel quite so bad,
And I know we both feel that we have been had,
Well I guess they were just not that strong.

So I lost my woman and you lost your man,
And who knows who's right or who's wrong,
But I've got my guitar and I've got a plan,
Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man!

Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man,
And we'll get through this night the best way we can!
It's the best ol' pain killer since hurtin' began,
Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man!

I miss that woman, you miss him too,
There's not a hell of a lot we can do,
But cling to each other 'till the hurtin' is through,
But the hurt can only last just so long.

You'll be my woman, I'll be your man,
Even if just for a while,
I've still got my guitar and I've got a plan,
Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man!

Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man,
And we'll get through this night the best way we can!
It's the best ol' pain killer since hurtin' began,
Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man!
Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man!

Sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in the nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream

Purple light in the canyon
that is where I long to be
With my three good companions
just my rifle pony and me

Gonna hang my sombrero
on the limb of a tree
Coming home sweet my darling
just my rifle pony and me

Whippoorwill in the willow
sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo
just my rifle pony and me

No more cows to be ropin'
No more strays will I see
'round the bend shell be waitin
For my rifle pony and me
For my rifle my pony and me
