Honky Tonk Night Time Man lyrics

[Intro]
Little bits of Bakersfield

[Chorus]
I'm a honky-tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky-tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I get my rest in the day time
I do my running around at night

[Verse 1]
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
Well, I wish a tornado
Come and blow my blues away, away, that's what I said
Take 'em away

[Interlude]
Sounds like Roy
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Then my heart starts beating
When that sun starts sinking low
Well, my heart starts beating
When that sun starts sinking low
When the shadows fall
I know its time for me to go
[Bridge]
Billy Powell on piano
Oh, Barry, play me some dobro

[Chorus]
I'm a honky-tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky-tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I get my rest in the day time
Do my running 'round, 'round at night

[Outro]
I get my rest in the day time
Yes, oh, Lord, Lord, sweet stuff at night
