Lyrics
Verse 1
Well if what you want, is what I need
youĀ?d think thatĀ?d be enough to satisfy me
But one of my needs, canĀ?t be denied
ItĀ?s what keeps me feelinĀ? young, makes me feel alive
Chorus
You can find me on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday night
PickinĀ? and a grinninĀ? Ā?neath the neon lights
IĀ?m free and happy being what I am
IĀ?m livinĀ? the life, IĀ?m a honky tonk man
Chorus
Now youĀ?re a good lovinĀ? woman, And IĀ?m a hard headed man
But thereĀ?s something about me you got to understand
You can take what you want, IĀ?ll take what I need
Cause when the lights start shining bright ThatĀ?s where IĀ?ll be
Chorus
Now IĀ?m not complaining, please donĀ?t get me wrong
But up there on the stage is where I belong
To see my name in lights on the bill board sign
It's what keeps me hanginĀ? on Ā?til closing time
Chorus
