The little woman done put the lid on my barrel of fun
She says she ain't gonna take anymore my wild days are done
She bolted the doors and locked the windows and hid my honky tonk shoes
And I'm sittin' here in this easy chair with the homebody blues
Well there'll be no honky tonking tonight
Hey my little woman she done laid down the law
She's tired of my wicked ways she's gonna make 'em right
There'll be no honky tonking tonight
[ guitar ]
She's called all my drinkin' buddies and warned them to stay away
He's here at home where he belongs he's too busy to play
She's hid the keys to my caddy said you're mine tonight now daddy
There'll be no honky tonking tonight
There'll be no honky tonking tonight
[ steel - fiddle ]
There'll be no honky tonking tonight
So check with me tomorrow buddies tonight my hands are tied
There'll be no honky tonking tonight
