McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulders
ButI just can't seem to drink her off of my mind
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme
The honky tonk blues
Later ba ba covered me in roses
She had to take me upstairs for a ride
Then later she da da da da daaaaa da da da
Yeah she blew my nose and then she blew ma mind,hello!
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme
The honky tonk blues
--- Instrumental ---
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme
The honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme
The honky tonk blues
The lyrics to McFly's song Honky Tonk Women tell the story of encountering a woman in a bar in Memphis. She's described as a "Gin soaked barroom queen," who tries to take the singer upstairs for a ride. Despite her lifting him across her shoulders, the singer can't seem to get her out of his mind, hence the repetition of "but I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind." Later in the song, the woman is described as covering the singer in roses and taking him upstairs for a ride again. She "blew his nose and blew his mind," which suggests a sexual encounter. The chorus repeats that the woman is a honky tonk woman and that she gives the singer the honky tonk blues.
The lyrics of the song are straightforward and easy to follow, but the imagery and language used bring the story to life. The description of the woman as a gin-soaked barroom queen creates a vivid image of her and her surroundings. The repetition of the phrase "gimme, gimme, gimme" in the chorus adds to the urgency and desire of the singer, emphasizing how he can't resist the honky tonk woman. The instrumental break in the middle of the song adds to the playful and carefree mood of the song.
