Dirt road in the twi-lghtwoods so cool and dark.
Up a-head pale ne-onsomewhere a dog barks
Honky-tonk moonkeeps shining on my ba-by and me
Breaking up the pool ballschalk-ing up the cues
Juke box pumping soft-lylazy sum-mer blues
Honky-tonk moonkeeps shining on my ba-by and me
Chorus
Through the blue smok-y hazeall through the haze
Trouble seems to melt a — way………….
My heart’s on a rollI’m easy in my soul
There’s no hur-ryno wor-rythings are go-in’ my way
My arms a-round my ba-byshuf-flin’ on the floor
Cig-a-rettes and saw-dustsqueak-y old screen door.
Honk- tonk moonkeeps shin-in on my ba-by and me.
Out-side the dark is fal-lingstars are twinkling bright
That old hoot owl is callingevery-things all right
Honk- tonk moonkeeps shin-in on my ba-by and me.
Honk- tonk moonkeeps shin-in on my ba-by and me.
