Honky Tonk Women by The Rolling Stones

I've taken a new liking of The Rolling Stones, after listening to disc 1 of their greatest hits collection Forty Licks. One of the new songs that really struck a chord with me is Honkey Tonk Women. It's jangly telecaster driven guitars and an oh-so simple backbeat just made me smile when I tried to listen to it. The bass guitar also just comes in at around the chorus. The horns also add a certain vibe to this Stones song. It's just so danceable and will probably be in my list of songs I like to dance to. I like the backing vocals as well. There is no doubt that Honkey Tonk Women belongs to the pantheon of Rolling Stones songs.

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the Honky Tonk Women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the Honky Tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady then she covered me with roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
It's the Honky Tonk Women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the Honky Tonk blues.

(yeah!)
It's the Honky Tonk Women

Gimme, gimme, gimme the Honky Tonk blues.

(yeah!)
