Dirt road in the twilight, woods so cool and dark
Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks
Honkytonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me
Verse 2
Breaking up the pool balls, chalk-ing up the cues
Juke box pumping softly, lazy summer blues
Honkytonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me
Through the blue smoky haze, all through the days
Trouble seems to melt away
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
There's no hurry, no worry, things are goin' my way
Verse 3
My arms around my baby, shufflin' on the floor
Cigarettes and sawdust, squeaky old screen door
Honkytonk moon, keeps shining on my baby and me
Chorus
Outside the dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright
That old hoot owl is calling, everything's all right
Honkytonk moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me
Honkytonk moon, keeps shinin on my baby and me
