Well I was born
for Saturday night
Lookin' for trouble
and ready to fight
I was made
to be wild and free
Where it's loud and bright
that's where I'll be
And I might change
some day I guess
but honky tonkin's
what I do best
I can juke all night
without takin' a breath
Get out on the floor
dance myself to death
I'm a wild-eyed certified
bona-fide general mess
And honky tonkin's
what I do best
I never had much luck
with society
My momma used to say
it don't belong to me
But deep down I think
daddy understood
He always made me feel
like I was worth some good
Sister moved to New York
and she's a big success
I'm so impressed
But honky tonkin's
what I do best
I can juke all night
without takin' a breath
Get out on the floor
dance myself to death
I'm a wild-eyed certified
bona-fide general mess
And honky tonkin's
what I do best
Yeah honky tonkin's
what I do best
Yeah I said honky tonkin's
what I do best
