Honkey Tonk (Part 1) |
Stuck it on a slab of ash |
Sold one to Luther, threw in a pick |
Sent him out with Johnny Cash |
Now, could Leo Fender and the gang have known |
At the factory in Fullerton? |
That the honky twang of the Telecaster tone |
Would outlast 'em, every one |
It’s got a plush-lined case |
It’s all up in your face |
It’s your thunderin' lightning rod — |
It was born at the junction of form and function — |
It’s the hammer of the honky-tonk gods |
It’s the hammer of the honky-tonk gods! |
You got Buck and Don, Merle and Roy |
Muddy and the Iceman, too |
Bryant, Bert, Roy, Danny, and Redd |
Why, that’s Redd with two 'D's to you |
Well, there’s Waylon and Keith |
'Bout off th' top of my head |
Chrissie, Cropper and the Boss |
Why, if Johnny B Goode had one, he would |
Up in the St. Louis Telecaster, hoss |
You’ve (She's) got your (a) plush-lined case |
An' all (All) up in your face |
She’s your (ya) thunderin' lightning rod — |
(Well it was) Born at the junction of form and function — |
It’s the ('e) hammer of the honky-tonk gods |
It’s the hammer of the honky-tonk gods! |
Stuck it on a slab of ash |
Sold one to Luther, threw in a pick |
