Uploaded .

184

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!

Music - Wildgeas
Vocals - Wildgeas
Backup Vocals - Angie Fights Crime

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!

This has the vibe - not the sound - of T-Rex. I really like this shuffle rock - and cool lyrics!!
