Introduction
“Little Miss Honky Tonk” is one of those songs that just lights up a room. The moment you hear that twangy guitar riff, you know you’re in for a fun ride. This Brooks & Dunn hit isn’t just a catchy tune; it’s a snapshot of country music at its most lively and free-spirited. Released in 1995, it quickly became a crowd favorite, with its up-tempo beat and playful lyrics that capture the essence of a honky-tonk night out.
What makes this song so special is its energy. It’s all about a girl who’s got that fiery spirit—the kind of girl who lights up the dance floor and turns heads the second she walks into a bar. You can almost picture her in her boots, taking command of the room, yet she’s down-to-earth and not trying too hard. Brooks & Dunn paint this picture so vividly that you feel like you know her, or maybe wish you did.
The rhythm of the song mirrors that same uncontainable energy. It’s fast-paced, with a beat that just begs for dancing, and Kix Brooks’ vocals deliver the story with just the right amount of swagger. When you hear it, it’s easy to imagine a honky-tonk bar buzzing with life, boots hitting the floor, and people smiling as they sing along. It’s a song that reminds us how much fun country music can be when it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
And then there’s the guitar solo—full of grit and attitude, giving the song that extra kick. It’s a moment that makes you want to turn the volume up, grab your cowboy hat, and embrace your inner honky-tonker, even if you’ve never set foot in a country bar.
What’s really great about “Little Miss Honky Tonk” is how it taps into the universal appeal of a carefree night out. It doesn’t matter if you’re a regular on the honky-tonk circuit or if you’re new to the scene—this song pulls you in with its charm and leaves you feeling a little lighter, a little more fun-loving, by the end of it.

Lyrics
I get out on the redneck side every now and then
Call up my baby, she comes over and the party begins
Yeah she’s a slick nickel, she’s right on the money
I wouldn’t give her up for a thousand buckle bunnies
I’m her big cat daddy, she’s my little Miss Honky Tonk
She’s got my number, knows my favorite songs on the jukebox
Goes to gettin’ down like crazy and the whole place rocks
Yeah we’ll have a few and get to feelin’ right
She’ll be my queen bee I’ll be her neon knight
Well I’m her big cat daddy, she’s my little Miss Honky Tonk
Oh, oh I love her so
Stand back, give her room boys and watch her go
Yeah, she’s a looker, heads turn when she comes through the door
A show stopper when she gets to goin’ out on the floor
We leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like a king when I’m out with her highness
I’m her big cat daddy, she’s my little Miss Honky Tonk
Oh, oh I love her so
Stand back, give her room boys and watch her go
Yeah we leave all our troubles and cares way behind us
I feel like I’m a king when I’m out with her highness
I’m her big cat daddy, she’s my little Miss Honky Tonk
Yeah I’m her big cat daddy, she’s my little Miss Honky Tonk
Oh, I’m her big cat daddy, she’s my little Miss Honky Tonk
