The Green Pajamas

Honky Tonk Girls (At The Little Red Hen)


Sitting drinking whiskey and smoking cigarettes
Thinking about the face I'm trying to forget
She told me to get lost but I didn't go too far
I'm just around the corner at my favorite country bar

I praise the Lord this world is filled with honky-tonk girls
I swear they're getting finer! And younger! Every day
All these honky-tonk girls will be my salvation
They just gimme gimme gimme what I crave

Once there was a time when I couldn't live without you
Chained to your anchor at the bottom of the sea
I didn't realise the misery of sinking
I really ought to thank you for that night you set me free

I praise the Lord this world is filled with honky-tonk girls
I swear they're getting finer! And younger! Every day
All these honky-tonk girls will be my salvation
They just gimme gimme gimme what I crave
