Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Honky Tonk Man

I never seen you look quite so sad

An' I never felt me feel quite so bad

An' I know we both feel that we've been had

I guess that we're just not that strong

'Cause I lost my woman and you've lost your man

Who knows who's right or who's wrong?

But I 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

An' we'll get through the night the best way we can

It's the best old pain killer since hurtin' began

Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man

I miss my woman an' you miss your man too

But there's not a helluva lot that we can do

But cling to each other till the hurtin's through

An' the hurt can only last just so long

You be my woman an' I'll be your man

Even if just for a while

I 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

An' we'll get through the night the best way we can

It's the best old pain killer since hurtin' began

Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man

Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man
