Shemekia Copeland - Fell In Love With A Honky Lyrics

Saw his long legs
Walkin into Tootsie's
Next thing I knew
We was playing footsies
He wasn't really handsome
Just 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 rodeo star
Plays country blues on a beat-up guitar
Fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar

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

I fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar
Dressed up like a rodeo star
Plays country blues on a beat-up 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?

Now everywhere we go, people seem to stare
Whatever reason, we really don't care
Even though we're different, as day 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

I fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar
Dressed up like a rodeo star
Plays country blues on a beat-up guitar
I fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar

Fell in love with a honky in a honky tonk bar
Dressed up like a rodeo star
Plays country blues on a beat-up guitar
I fell in love with a honky in a honky
Fell in love with a honky in a honky
In a honky tonk bar
