Lynyrd Skynyrd - HONKY TONK NIGHT TIME MAN

 

I'm a honky tonk night time man

I can't stand no light

I'm a honky tonk night time man

I can't stand no light

I get my rest in the day time

I do my runnin' around at night

I had the blues this morning

Had the blues all day today

I had the blues this morning

Had the blues all day today

Well, I wish a tornado

Come and blow my blues away, away

That's what I said, take 'em away

Sounds like Roy

Yeah

And then my heart starts beatin'

When that sun starts sinkin' low

Well, my heart starts beatin'

When that sun starts sinkin' low

When the shadows fall

I know it's time for me to go

Billy Powell on the piano

Oh Barry, play me some Dobro

I'm a honky tonk night time man

I can't stand no light

I'm a honky tonk night time man

I can't stand no light

I get my rest in the day time

I do my runnin' around, round at night

I get my rest in the day time

Get's that old love sweet stuff at night

Street Survivors is the fifth studio album by the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on October 17, 1977. The LP is the last Skynyrd album recorded by original members Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins, and is the sole Skynyrd studio recording by guitarist Steve Gaines. Three days after the album's release, the band's chartered airplane crashed en route to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, killing the pilot, co-pilot, the group's assistant road-manager and three band members (Van Zant, Gaines, and Gaines' older sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines), and severely injuring most who survived the crash.

All posts in this channel are rendered in old school using restored vinyl LPs.  Unless noted, this channel does not use recordings from CDs.  As much as possible, I attempted to remove most of the pops and crackles from the original vinyl album.  Some remastering was applied to make the performance cut through within the confines of  the loudness wars.

Hope you enjoy.
