[Verse 1]
I pulled in late
Mud on my boots
Front door swinging
Like it knew the truth
You were laughing
At the corner booth
With a red-rim smile
And a wild-eyed crew
[Verse 2]
Pool balls rolling
One bad break
You took my hand
Then you made me wait
Said, "Big bad boys
Don't last all night"
Then you spun me round
In the county light
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room got hot
And the floor got loud
Your boots hit time
With the whole damn crowd
You leaned in close
Like you meant that stare
Said, "If you want trouble
It's already here"
[Chorus]
Honky-tonk women
Take me home
Honky-tonk women
Don't leave me alone
Heels on the wood
And a heart on fire
Honky-tonk women
Pull me higher
[Verse 3]
Mama's warnings
On my tongue
But your kiss came quick
And my guard came undone
Neon spilled
On the shattered glass
You laughed so hard
That the hurt walked past
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room got hot
And the floor got loud
Your boots hit time
With the whole damn crowd
You leaned in close
Like you meant that stare
Said, "If you want trouble
It's already here"
[Chorus]
Honky-tonk women
Take me home
Honky-tonk women
Don't leave me alone
Heels on the wood
And a heart on fire
Honky-tonk women
Pull me higher
[Bridge]
Let the night run ragged
Let the good talk loose
If the world goes hard
Girl, I got no use
For a parked-up dream
And a settled life
When your name tastes sweet
Like a cuttin' knife
[Final Chorus]
Honky-tonk women
Take me home
Honky-tonk women
Don't leave me alone
Heels on the wood
And a heart on fire
Honky-tonk women
Pull me higher
Honky-tonk women
Honky-tonk women
