I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I get my rest in the daytime
I make my running 'round at night
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
Had the blues this morning
I had the blues all day today
But when the sun goes down
I'm gonna tuck my blues away, away that's what I said
Roy, tuck away
I mean my heart starts beatin'
And the sun starts sinking low
Lord, my heart starts beatin'
When that sun starts sinking low
When the shadows fall
I know it's time to go, go, Norm!
I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I get my rest in the daytime
I do my running 'round, 'round at night, all round
