i've made some good friends and i've had some bad fights
and i've had my share of wasted nights
i've seen husbands take the ring off their hand
and i've seen a woman cheat on her man
yea i've had a few paychecks blown
in the name of a good time and don't you know
it all happened in a honky tonk
some roadside joint full of country songs
laughin' and cryin'
misery and fun
and every kind of drinkin' that's ever been done
yea i've seen a lot of life lived
it all happened in a honky tonk like this
i sing these songs and i play this guitar
but i ain't the first one to chase this star
so here's to the heroes of this redneck world
waylon and willie
hank and merle
they traveled round with a five piece band
and i think you know where this music began
it all happened in a honky tonk
some roadside joint full of country songs
laughin' and cryin'
misery and fun
and every kind of drinkin' that's ever been done
yea i've seen a lot of life lived
it all happened in a honky tonk like this
it all happened in a honky tonk
some roadside joint full of country songs
laughin' and cryin'
misery and fun
and every kind of drinkin' that's ever been done
yea i've seen a lot of life lived
it all happened in a honky tonk
it all happened in a honky tonk like this
honky tonk just like this
