In the songs I grew up with about the lonely and broken hearted
There was a common thread they had, an easy fix
They all had a place to go where they didn't feel alone
The only problem is for me that don't exist
There ain't no flashin' neon sign invitin' me inside
No worn-out barstools for lonesome fools to drink away the night
No Hank Williams jukebox songs
In this town they got it wrong
And self-served whiskey glasses still let me see too clear
But there ain't no honky tonks around here
This ain't that kinda one-horse town
The only bar we got around
Plays a never-ending string of Top 40 hits
It's the same crowd every Friday
So it's best to stay away
'Cause when your heart's in two
You know that you'll run into the one who broke it
There ain't no flashin' neon sign invitin' me inside
No worn-out barstools for lonesome fools to drink away the night
No Hank Williams jukebox songs
In this town they got it wrong
And self-served whiskey glasses still let me see too clear
But there ain't no honky tonks around here
I can put a record on at home and pour a drink to drown my blues
But that ain't what Haggard would do
There ain't no flashin' neon sign invitin' me inside
No worn-out barstools for lonesome fools to drink away the night
No Hank Williams jukebox songs
In this town they got it wrong
And self-served whiskey glasses still let me see too clear
But there ain't no honky tonks around here
No there ain't no honky tonks around here
