TOO MANY HONKY TONKS

VERSE
I know she didn’t mean to hurt me
She tried so hard to make it right
I guess I lost out to the whisky
But I wonder where my baby is tonight

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet 
On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
The neon lights are shinin’
Right thru the warm glow of this wine
And my ole heart is pinin’
And I wonder where she’ll be 
At closing time.

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet 
On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around 
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around 

GOODTIME HONKY TONK

VERSE
Just a little past the county line
Where the kudzu’s growin’ up the cross road sign 
Sun’s sinkin’ thru the pine
You’ll find the goodtime honky tonk

VERSE
Just one happy family
Blowin’ off steam at the end of the week
Yes sir, no ma’am, thank you, please
At the goodtime honky tonk

CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
Jukebox sittin’ on the old front porch
Punch those numbers and hit the floor
We all know what we’re here for 
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
None of that new country breed
Just Hank and Lefty and some Brenda Lee
Listen to Willie puff some weed
At the goodtime Honky Tonk 

CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Heyeeeee

Life’s become so fragile 

now that I care 

But I guess that means that I’m 

Getting somewhere

Remember the time 

Laying in your bed

When you told me that you loved me 

And you stroked my head 

And I stared out the open window

I’d even told you 

That one night how

Words don’t mean a thing 

But it’s alright

Cause every time 

I open my mouth 

And I wanna tell you something 

But something else comes out 

But do you know that I need you now

I’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how

So much frustration in my 

Untidy room

That you thoughtfully went and

Got me a broom

But inside my room 

Is a messy mind that is

Tangled and twisted 

And untied 

You know that I’m not too organised

I’m trying to be but I don’t have the time

The cement in my head

Was making me sink

But you pulled me up 

and it hurts a little less to think

So life’s a little fragile 

But I guess it always is

When you’ve got some sort of reason

That makes you wanna live

But will you share a bit of the weight

I’ve carried it with me for 21 years straight

Life’s become so fragile 

now that I care 

But I guess that means that I’m 

Getting somewhere

Remember the time 

Laying in your bed

When you told me that you loved me 

And you stroked my head 

And I stared out the open window

I’d even told you 

That one night how

Words don’t mean a thing 

But it’s alright

Cause every time 

I open my mouth 

And I wanna tell you something 

But something else comes out 

But do you know that I need you now

I’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how

So much frustration in my 

Untidy room

That you thoughtfully went and

Got me a broom

But inside my room 

Is a messy mind that is

Tangled and twisted 

And untied 

You know that I’m not too organised
