Ah! It's just another wasted mornin'
While I'm holdin' up the wall
Too much tequila makes me wonder
Why I'm headin' home at all

Get that honky tonk feelin'
Every time your arms grow cold
I suppose that's the reason
I need a home away from home

So I'll say one more time
And I hope you'll understand
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can

I can't refuse them lonely women
Lord, I know just how they feel
I suppose that's the reason
What you been givin' me makes me feel

Honey, I'm gettin' that honky tonk feelin'
Every time your arms grow cold
And I suppose that's the reason
I need a home away from home

So I'll say it one more time, one more time
And I hope you'll understand
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can
If I can't find it in your arms, babe
I'm gonna find it where I can

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
