The Dusty Chaps Band consists of me, myself & I and hired hands kind enough to help me out with their talent on my demos.
Thanks for any and all listens and comments...hope this song is enjoyed. Another home recording with backing tracks over the internet...so much fun. Thanks for the listen,

V1
The other nite, & once last week, & twice the month before
I was honky tonkin' and stumblin' out the doors
I made it home, every night, but how I can't recall
Now her foot's a comin' down, she's layin' down the law
V2
Some friends of mine, shake their heads and wonder in disgust
How could I let my honky tonkin' bite the dust
I tell them if the truth be known there's nothin' to discuss
My honky tonkin' ain't quite done, I got a plan for us
Chorus
I'm a gonna build a honky tonk right behind our house
I won't have to call a cab or drive around half-soused
I won't have to far to walk if I upset my spouse
I'm a gonna name my honky tonk "The Ol' Dog House"
V3
My sweetheart that I love so much has left me all alone
She flew away to visit mom, in a week she'll be back home
I promised her every night, I'll be here by the phone
Gave her a kiss and said I'll be workin' here at home
Chorus
Bridge
Well the gang just called, they're on their way over
They're bringin' some tools, I hope they stay sober
Cause I want the walls stickin' straight up,
And I want the roof sittin' on top
And I want a sign like an ol' dog house
Right out front and right side up
Chorus/out
