"I did some honky tonk healin' to get me over you
It took some neon nurses around the clock to pull me through
I was in critical condition my heart was broken in two
Due to honky tonk healin', I'm feeling good as new
Well thank you for callin' is all I can say
'Cause your get well wishes dear, are just a little too late
Did you think I'd be laid up, heartbroken and blue?
And missin' your kissin', well honey, here's the news
I did some honky tonk healin' to get me over you
It took some neon nurses around the clock to pull me through
I was in critical condition my heart was broken in two
Due to honky tonk healin', I'm feeling good as new
Drop by some evening, if you can catch me home
We'll share a few memories, if that's what you want
Don't be expecting the same fool, you left crying in vain
It's been a smooth operation they removed all the pain
I did some honky tonk healin' to get me over you
It took some neon nurses around the clock to pull me through
I was in critical condition my heart was broken in two
But due to honky tonk healin', I'm feeling good as new
Yeah, due to honky tonk healin', I'm feeling good as new
