Every Little Honky Tonk Bar |
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge |
Ice creates the water that’s no longer runnin' under it |
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart |
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes |
The jukebox plays Hank, «I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry» |
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are |
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar |
Friday night, it’s a given |
I’ll be L-I-V-N, livin' |
We’ll dance on the bar 'til we’re sleeping it off in the car |
Monday morning, it’s a given |
I’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin' |
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar |
Neon lights flashing bright 'til you’re almost hypnotized |
Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy |
Comin' and goin', always rollin' with the flow |
Bartender, pour our drinks; |
Código, do a shot |
You think you’re tall and bulletproof |
Until somebody says you’re not |
You step outside thinkin' you’re gonna show 'em you are |
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar |
Friday night, it’s a given |
We’ll be L-I-V-N, livin' |
We’ll dance on the bar 'til we’re sleeping it off in the car |
Monday morning, it’s a given |
We’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin' |
And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar |
Yeah, that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar |
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge |
