Moe Bandy & Joe Stampley Lyrics

"Honky Tonk Queen"

Well, everything was goin' my way so I pressed my luck and called Moe today
To see if he was still around
Well, I shouldn't have answered the telephone I knew when I did that it was wrong
When I found out who it was

Well, it was just a matter of time and we're out on the town drinking wine
When I saw my dream come true
She's walkin' in the Do Drop Inn when Joe hit the brakes and we went in a spin
And ended up in the parking lot

Ah, she's a beauty, she's a skag
She's got class, aw come on now, that little honky tonk queen
Well, Moe I've looked far and wide
You better look again when you ain't high at that honky tonk queen

We went inside and she was sittin' there with lovely make up and beautiful hair
So I asked that gal to dance
I tried my best to really stress that girl don't look right in that dress
But you never heard a word

Ah, she's a beauty, she's a skag
She's got class, aw come on now, that little honky tonk queen
Well Moe, I've looked far and wide
You better look again when you ain't high at that honky tonk queen

As they danced he took her hand spun her around and pulled her in
Then he spun her a little too hard
And I started wondering when she said her name was Bill
Then her wig came off and I's ready to kill
That joker dressed like a female

She's a beauty, not so loud, she's got style, come on, pal
That little honky tonk queen
Well Joe, you've looked far and wide
But I wanna look again, Moe, when I'm high
For a honky tonk queen

I told you, Joe, somethin' didn't just look right to me
Now I've heard enough, Moe
Man, you shoulda seen the look on your face
Hey, I don't wanna hear it no more

Yeah, you don't wanna look no more do you
I don't wanna drink no more either
What is that stuff you're drinkin', Joe
How could you do somethin' like that...
