When I was a baby, my sweet momma told me Go around this world and see all that you can see Find a good woman, get a job and settle down But I could not stay away from the lights of town I had to go where the music is loud I fell in with the honky tonk crowd So let the jukebox play, let's dance all night When you get down on the floor you know you've got it right Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found Cause, I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd There's was debutante in Dallas, that nearly blew my mind She was raised on caviar and real fine wine She didn't like Hillbilly music, that was more than I could take I left that lovely little cowgirl waiting in the Lone star state Cause I had to go where the music is loud I'm right at home with the honky tonk crowd So let the jukebox play, let's dance all night When you get down on the floor you know you've got it right Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found Well, I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found Cause I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd And that's when I woke up
