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
