Well I'm a honky tonk night time man I can't stand no light
I'm a honky tonk night time man I can't stand no light
When I get my rest in the daytime I make my runnin' round at night

I had the blues this morning I had the blues all day today
Yeah I had the blues this morning I had the blues all day today
But when the sun goes down I'm gonna take my blues away away

[ guitar ]
Well my heart starts beatin' when the sun starts sinking low
Yeah my heart starts beatin' when the sun starts sinking low
And when the shadows fall well it's time for me to go

[ piano - guitar ]
Well I'm a honky tonk night time man...
And when I get my rest in the daytime I do my runnin' round at night
Honky tonk night time man
