(Frank J. Meyers - Billy Yates) I saw those blue lights flashin' Over my left shoulder He walked right up and said, "Get off that riding mower."

I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beer A hardwood floor a smoky atmosphere A pocket full of change to last me all night long I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song. I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song...
