I never seen you look quite so sad An' I never felt me feel quite so bad An' I know we both feel that we've been had I guess that we're just not that strong
'Cause I lost my woman and you've lost your man Who knows who's right or who's wrong? But I still got my guitar and I've got a plan Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man
Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man An' we'll get through the night the best way we can It's the best old pain killer since hurtin' began Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man
I miss my woman an' you miss your man too But there's not a helluva lot that we can do But cling to each other till the hurtin's through An' the hurt can only last just so long
You be my woman an' I'll be your man Even if just for a while I still got my guitar and I've got a plan Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man
Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man An' we'll get through the night the best way we can It's the best old pain killer since hurtin' began Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man Throw your arms 'round this honky tonk man.
