I reckon there's one near your hometown An old cinder block building looks a-half torn down Just hang a left down the lost highway Keep going till you see the signs that say Honky tonk, if you love country Honky tonk, your whole life long Honky tonk, if you love country That's what keeps this country strong Them little ladies in the kitchen can't be beat They've got your hard-boiled eggs and your pickled pig feet Don't you try to order no imported beer That truck only runs from St. Louie to here Honky tonk, if you love country Honky tonk, your whole life long Honky tonk, if you love country That's what keeps this country strong All the girls get frisky on Friday night When the band starts playing don't you be surprised We do things different when we start to rock Yeah, we hop on the hip and we hip on the hop Honky tonk, if you love country Honky tonk, your whole life long Honky tonk, if you love country That's what keeps this country strong We'll be the life of the party at the party of your life You might even meet your next ex-wife Ain't no better place for you to be In the home of the brave and the land of the free Honky tonk, if you love country Honky tonk, your whole life long Honky tonk, if you love country That's what keeps this country strong Honky tonk, if you love country Honky tonk, your whole life long Honky tonk, if you love country That's what keeps this country strong
