Honky Tonk Prison (Angie Fights Crime)
This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled “Sunny Sorta”….” It’s 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists.
I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :)
So CRANK IT UP!

Lyrics:
It’s a honky tonk night, in a honky tonk town
full of honky tonk people, making honky tonk sounds
and everyone is drinking
and everyone is dancing
the cheap beer is flowing
the music is pounding my head
but smokey says, fetch me another, right now
it’s a honky night, in this honky tonk town
and I’m trapped in the back, trying to make my escape
the boys are all fighting
the girls are all screaming
the cheap beer still flowing
the music still pounding my head
when the telephone rings, there’s only silence
when the telephone rings, muffled breathing
when the telephone rings funny voices
saying son you’d better get out of town
it’s a honky tonk night, in a honky tonk town
full of honky tonk people, making honky tonk sounds
and I’m trapped in the back, trying to make my escape
I’m telling myself, I’m trying to make my escape
the boys are all fighting
the girls are all screaming
the cheap beer still flowing
the music is pounding my head
but smokey says, fetch me another, right now
but smokey says, fetch me another, right now
but smokey says, fetch me another, right now
when the telephone rings, there’s only silence
when the telephone rings, muffled breathing
when the telephone rings funny noises
saying son you’d better get back home

Love the vocal delivery and the 50s slapback echo(?). Great place in the album for an upbeat song, too!
ride 'em cowboy !
This has the vibe - not the sound - of T-Rex. I really like this shuffle rock - and cool lyrics!!
I'm playing a hot rodded Fender Mustang in that video. And I want that Taylor so much .. man. I wonder if I should sell the car.
Super track Paul! Love your vox and the harp especially. Backing vocals are great too. Fuzzy guitar really rocks!
Very cool cameo from Brent!
Have been waiting for this to be uploaded for weeks. It needs serious faving.
a cake of a mix ...the sponge a good foot tapping riff ..... the middle the nice sticky jamming harmonica with a great topping of johnny cash vocal for the cream .....love it
