Country Honk

Hillbilly version of Honky Tonk woman. Apart from being a great song, it always makes me laugh when im listening to it in the car - who's that beeping me??!!

Yeah when I first heard it I was like 'What? is this recorded next to a road or something?' Haha

yeah i recognized it as the country version of Honky Tonk Woman feel good song

haha, exactly the same thing happened to me. I was in the car with my mom, and she got scared when she heard the beeping because I had the volume pretty high up. I love how they didn't just "acoustic" the song, rather Keith changed the whole way the guitars were played. Great stuff.

Amazing song!...and so true.

The horn beeping is priceless

Haha, Keith intended Honky Tonk Women to be like this from the start, but the rest of the band liked the other version of it better, so this just got renamed Country Honk and shoved down the setlists, whereas Honky Tonk Women ended up being released.

How could he have played a divorcee in New York City? or "I laid a divorcee in New York City."

The song has a whole different meaning if he played a divorcé. Some chick tried to hit him up. He had been hit up before, but this time he played hard to get saying he just got divorced and was not really into it, before they got into it.

I have to go with 'laid a divorcee in NYC' - it just seems to make more sense when taken together with the next line. Poor Keef (for some reason I always see Keith as the narrator of this adventure) had to fend off an overly amorous divorcee...for a while that is...or at least until she produced her supply of the magical white dust and all was suddenly well with the world.

If I really wanted to extrapolate and go out on a colossal limb, I would also say that Keith resisting her advances probably had a lot to do with his smack habit at the time. Heroin is a well-known sex drive killer. So what does she do? She counteracts the heroin with a nose full of coke and suddenly Keith's little guitar hero stands to attention and whips off a killer solo.
