Honky Tonk Song Chords & Lyrics - George Jones

Capo 2

I [D]saw those blue lights [D7]flashing [G]over my left [D]shoulder
He [D]walked right [G]up and said get off that riding [A]mower
I said [D]sir, let me ex[D7]plain before you [G]put me in the [D]tank
She [D]took my [G]keys a[D]way and then she [A]won’t drive me t[D]o drink

I need a honky tonk [G]song, a cold, cold [D]beer
A hardwood [D]floor, a smoky atmo[A]sphere
A pocket full of [G]change to last me all night [D]long [G]
I’d rathe[D]r hear old Hank [A]a-moanin’ a honky t[D]onk song

Guitar

He didn’[D]t show me much compassion when [G]I tried to walk tha[D]t line
As he [D]put those [G]handcuffs [D]on me, I said give me one more [A]try
He never [D]even cracked a smile when he [G]threw me in [D]car
So I said, [D]sir, if [G]you don’[D]t mind, would yo[A]u drop me off at [D]a bar

[CHORUS]
