The Honky Tonks Are Calling Me Again

The Honky Tonks Are Calling Me Again
Recorded by Billy Walker
written by Ray Pennington


G                               C
Checkered table cloths homemade ashtrays and neon lights
G                                D7
Advertisements that light up the night
G
Loud music smoke and laughter
        C
Make me feel like a different man
        G               D7         C   G
And the honky tonks are calling me a-gain

         C                      G
Well the jukebox is playing and everyone is singing
                             D7
Songs of dreams that have no end
        C                      G
Life is just an illusion there in the confusion
                        D7         C   G
And the honky tonks are calling me a-gain

                                   C
Lord I’ve tried to break away to a better kind of life
G                                                 D7
Oh but a good woman’s love can only hold me for a while
G
Yes the church bells ring on Sunday
       C
Oh but that old Devil he just grins
        G               D7         C   G
And the honky tonks are calling me a-gain
