With this song, it is what it is. I was born to honky-tonk.
I was born to honky-tonk
'Cause I like cattin' around
I love to hear a steel guitar
And Hank's high, lonesome sound
My mama rocked her baby
By the railroad track
To the rollin' of a late-night train
Oh, how it moaned my lullaby
To the rhythm of the falling rain
(yodel)
Yeah, I was born to honky-tonk
I love those honky-tonk gals
Like to drink my liquor
Play my guitar
With some of my worthless pals
I can yodel like a cat
On a hot tin roof
Never give me water
Make it 90 proof
I'm havin' a ball
And that's the truth
'Cause I was born to honky-tonk
(yodel)
I was born to honky-tonk
'Cause I like cattin' around
I love to hear a flat-picked guitar
And that Johnny Russell sound
My mama rocked her baby by the railroad track
To the rollin' of a late-night train
Oh, how it moaned my lullaby
To the rhythm of the fallin' rain
(yodel)
