Fell in Love With a Honky Songtext
von Shemekia Copeland

FELL IN LOVE WITH A HONKY

I saw his long legs
Walkin into Tootsie′s
Next thing I knew
We was playing footsie
He wasn't handsome
Not my type
Standing by himself
In the jukebox light
But there was somethin′ about him that was kinda cute
Made me love him right down to his cowboy boots

I fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar
Dressed up like
A cowboy or a rodeo star
Plays that country blues on a beat up ol' guitar
I fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar


About a week later had another date
Cooked me some chitlins and chicken fried steak
Offered me ice cream he was my kinda fella
He had chocolate I had me some vanilla
Things were heatin' up I couldn′t help but notice
He stopped singing Hank switched right Into Otis

I fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar
Dressed up like a cowboy or a rodeo star
Plays that country music on a beat up ol′ guitar
Fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar

When he's honky tonkin′
I almost lose control
Who knew a country boy
Could have so much soul?
I fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar

Now everywhere we go people seem to stare
Whatever reason that they got we don't really care
Even though we′re different as day is from night
Love is so much bigger than plain ol' black and white
I got myself a man who′s tall, slim and hunky
And every day he's getting just a little more funky
