Lyrics

Ever been to Bakersfield 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 runnin' around at night 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 Sounds like Roy Yeah And then my heart starts beatin' When that sun starts sinkin' low Well, my heart starts beatin' When that sun starts sinkin' low When the shadows fall I know it's time for me to go Billy Powell on the piano Oh Barry, play me some Dobro 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 runnin' around, round at night I get my rest in the day time Get's that old love sweet stuff at night
