George Jones - Honky Tonkin' Lyrics






When you are sad and lonely and have no place to go
Call me up, sweet baby, and bring along some dough
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
We'll go honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

When you and your baby have a fallin' out
Just call me up sweet mama and we'll go steppin' out
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
We'll go honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town.

We're goin' to the city - to the city fair
If you go to the city then you will find me there
And we'll go honky tonkin', honky tonkin'
We'll go honky tonkin', honey baby
We'll go honky tonkin' 'round this town...

    man my dwi was awful. I hit a big rich persons brick mail box going about 40 mph. I was hungover I wasn't actually drinking and driving.. if u ever get a dwi and the DA offers u pre trail diversion offer, say fuck no. The only reason in the state of Texas offer u that is because they do not have sufficient evidence, so steven kate fuck u for fucking me, criminal lawyers are not your friends, do not be fooled.

    When he was sitting in jail in this video reminds me what I read in his book he called up his agent the jailer told rick that George was singing in the cell didn t seem like he wanted to get out. The jailer hailed up the phone said yes that's George. And didn't believe George who he was because of his name was common. Funny.

  46. M.... G....

    Wow ! Little Jimmy Dickens 😁😁

  47. D.... H....

    To anyone who might have had a loss within the family Mother ,Father , or Grandfather and / or Grandmother every time I hear ol George Jones I start thinking so much about my dear mom who we all lost back in 2015 to C O P D smoking since she was 14 or 15 . I just love ol George Jones .

  48. T.... H....

    I know Beck and George Jones younger days he raised all kinds of hell I'm just glad you found a wife that straightened him out and he was around for a long time after the world did mourn the passing of George Jones but as long as YouTube has him on the music side his true fans can always hear him

  49. q.... v....

    Just in case no one knows why George Jones was arrested and pulled over it was because (1) he was driving a non road legal car and (2) evading arrest

    Is that Jr Brown playing the officer?

    T.... C....

    Yeah...I just noticed that too. That's like finding an Easter egg.

    T.... C....

    YES! Extra great!

    T.... C....

    Tracy Lawrence is also one of the "deputies" in the cell.

    T.... C....

    I got a star on my car and one on my chest, a gun on my hip and the right to arrest...

    T.... C....

    And I think the deputy who said "Send backup quick" was the late James Best (Roscoe from 'Dukes of Hazzard'

  87. J.... C....

    I am an alcoholic like George I know what he goes through when he gets sober i know he had many regrets as i do. we dont want to be who we are. when i am not drinking i have trouble sleeping because i think of all the STUPID THINGS I HAVE DONE while drunk. just try to understand George tried to be good as i have.

    J.... C....

    J C Hill I thought I was the only one

    J.... C....

    Colt451911show101 Not the only one packing a cool BEER.

    J.... C....

    I sit here with a beer in hand knowing the wife doesn't want her husband drinking like this. She puts on a brave face and says it's okay but deep down I know she resents it..

    J.... C....

    J C Hill I wrecked a an old 64 chevele while I was drunk I hit a curve goin 70 my buddy told me to cut the wheel I did I went on two wheels and the trunk hit a teophone pole and rolled onto its side it was a nice car I totaled it and the cop put my keys on the ground and said if you can stand on 1 foot and pick up dem key I don’t go to jail it took me 2 try’s the first time I fell on my side and said common Paul get your ass together or you goin to jail I picked um up and called my oldest brother to pick me and my buddy up the next day I found out I totaled my car and saw the price for the pole no damage was found

    J.... C....

    J C Hill Yessir. Too many times. Drinking right now.

  88. M.... L....

    I think it would be awesome to spend the night in jail with The Possum 😂🍻 after a night of drinking

    M.... L....

    Mike LeBouef I am studin cus I’m tund in for the nite

    M.... L....

    But it wold be col 2 to send the with gorge

    M.... L....

    That would have made Follsom prison and Johnny a Punkin roller!!

  89. Z.... R....

    loved this, it made my day....whoever you are, whatever situation you might be in, remember to make the best use of it with the same kind of attitude..

  90. E.... L....

    he's the best

  91. N.... P....

    only 18 years ago... REALITY changed greatly in that short time

  92. J.... I....

    I very, very strongly disapprove of drink driving, it's far too serious a subject for laughter, and George Jones deserved the jail for the drunk driving that he did, including when he drove his lawnmower when he was absolutely rat-arsed drunk, so drunk that he fell out of it. This video is a disgrace-- and so are the tears of laughter running down my cheeks as I watch it!
    He just didn't give a damn, and as long as no one gets hurt, you've got to laugh.

    J.... I....

    Actually he did care! He regretted everything he done, but honestly when your're drunk, you have no idea what your're doing. It changes you, but George improved a lot as he got older and was more about family.

    J.... I....

    Never having been drunk or even taken a drink, I only have an observer's knowledge about it changing one, but if you know that you're liable to become a much worse person when drunk then the simple answer is "Stay off the drink".
    I know it's hard, but life throws up a lot of things that are hard to handle.
    The strong dig in to find the strength to carry on and and face them,:the weak hide in the bottle.
    I've had a lot of hard times, but I knew if I rolled over, others would suffer--it's a straight forward moral choice,
    I'm glad he improved with age though, for his sake and even more for those close to him.

    J.... I....

    I never said i was perfect- nobody is, but being imperfect does not remove one's entitlement to comment, or to invalidate it.
    By your reasoning,the imperfect loved ones of the hundreds of thousands of people world wide who have been bereaved have no right to condemn drunk drivers?

    J.... I....

    I bet you are loooadds of fun to be around. Not really

    J.... I....

    Its just a song! Bro! Have a coke and smile and shut the heck up!

  93. a.... p....

    Gotta love him.

  94. S.... T....

    I like the video

  95. K.... L....

    wow great song🎤 George Jones ThE BeST🎸
