Just outside the law around some where’s Arkansas
A honky tonk was built by a girl from Louisville
She built it by a bridge on a 30 acre ridge
Just across dry county line and she called it Honky Tonk Hill
Honky Tonk Hill (Honky Tonk Hill) Honky Tonk Hill (Honky Tonk Hill)
Just across dry county line and she called it Honky Tonk Hill
I’m the only son of a big judge who had won
The last five elections cause he had the people scared
Poppa didn’t care who he hurt to keep his chair
The judge’s bench meant more to him than the gold in momma’s hair
If poppa warned me once he warned me fifty times
Not to ever set a foot upon that sinful hill
But I broke the judge’s will and slipped across that bridge
And I caught poppa making out with a girl from Louisville
Honky Tonk Hill (Honky Tonk Hill) Honky Tonk Hill (Honky Tonk Hill)
I caught my daddy making out with a girl from Louisville
I couldn’t stand to see poppa break momma’s heart
So I stepped in and loved that woman with my youthful skills
Now poppa’s lovin’ momma and sending momma flowers
And I’m the new half owner of a place called Honky Tonk Hill
Now I’m the new half owner of a place called Honky Tonk Hill
