Stop The Presses

I wake up in the morning and I'm tired as night
heavy legs dragging the floor
decide their not familiar and I fall back to sleep
saying wake me if you reach the door

I get in to the office at a quarter to five
a day and seven hours late
talking to a flower with a man on its back
telling me to take a break

"CHORUS"

Stop the presses
there's a man on the run
hoping some day to be found
identifying feature is an old guitar
and he's searching for a honky tonk sound

I Go to see Dolores she's the girl I adore
she tells me that she wants me to stay
I give the thought a minute and I'm ready to go
have to find a better way

I Visit an old friend who's been writing a song
hoping I might stop by
some friends are coming over and they want me to play
I might as well give it a try

"CHORUS"

Stop the presses
there's a man on the run
hoping some day to be found
identifying feature is an old guitar
and he's searching for a honky tonk sound

We're playing for hours and still raring to go
the music flows on and on
funny what happens when your feeling so good
and playing a honky tonk song

"CHORUS"

Stop the presses
there's a man on the run
hoping some day to be found
identifying feature is an old guitar
and he's searching for a honky tonk sound

he's searching for a honky tonk
he's searching for a honky tonk
he's searching for a honky tonk sound
