A-honky tonk memories
A cheating song melody
It takes me back to you and me
And what it used to be back then

A-walking through the swinging doors
A-dancing on a hardwood floor
I tipped the band to play one more
I wish we had it all again

I'm a sitting here a-thinking dear
Why I didn't marry you
I wonder if you're happy with
The one who had the sense enough to

A pinball going ding-a-ling
A-chug-a-lugging was the thing
Singing songs we all could sing
I wish that I could bring it back

(A-honky tonk memories
A cheating song melody
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)

I'm a sitting here thinking dear
Why I didn't marry you
I wonder if you're happy with
The one who had the sense enough to

A-dancing close to closing time
A-we could read each other's mind
And I could search and never find
Another time like that

A-honky tonk memories
A cheating song melody
Take me back to you and me
And what it used to be back then

Walking through the swinging doors (A-honky tonk memories)
Dancing on a hardwood floor (A cheating song melody)
Tip the band to play one more
I wish we had it all again
