  • There's a hundred dollar bill on the table
    To get me through the night
    Got a tight blue jean honky tonk queen
    To hold me tight and the cowboy bands in mission
    Of Texas waltz
    It's music to my ears and a need to hear
    To keep me from climbing the wall

    Cause tonight I'll be honky tonk crazy
    Rip roaring wild, one more time
    Tonight I'll be, honky tonk crazy
    Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
    Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind

    Got all my friends around me
    Telling the latest jokes
    They can't see the joke's on me
    I'm at the end of my rope
    So i step out side and drink one
    In the driving rain
    That's all right if i'm high tonight
    Cause she's already drove me insane.

    Cause tonight I'll be honky tonk crazy
    Rip roaring wild, one more time
    Tonight I'll be, honky tonk crazy
    Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
    Let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind
    Oh, let the whiskey whisk her out of my mind Writer/s: DILLON, DYCUS
