Lyrics
HONKY TONK?IN DOWN THE HIGHWAY
Music and Lyrics by Susanne Spirit © 2004
(Verse) My man . . . .
Drives truck for a living, he travels cross the United States
He works hard for his dollar, driving nearly every night and day
(Verse) Sometimes he is gone for oh so long, and oh how I miss him
Then I get that special call, when he says he?s a coming in
(Chorus) (Musical Stop) Oh yeah, He?s honky tonk?in down the highway
His eighteen wheels are rolling wide
He?s honky tonk?in down the highway
And, he will be home in just awhile
(Verse) Now, he may get himself a ticket, cause he?s hammering down all the way
He says, he don?t a care, cause he can?t wait to be with me and play
(Verse) Those girls may flash him on that long old road, he just winks and keeps a moving on, cause he knows, he?s a got a me, a waiting at home to love him all night long
(Repeat Chorus) I said. . . (Solo)
(Verse) His job it ain?t easy to earn a living, providing for a family
So when you see that big rig a rolling, give him a toot, a holler and some love from me
(Bridge) He drives everywhere, delivering food and toys and even the clothes we wear
He never stops, once he?s got that load
He?ll keep on rolling through rain or sleet or snow
(Repeat Chorus) (2X) Oh yeah. . .
(Tag) Yes, He, will, be home, (Stop) in just a while.
