Well, I think I’m in Kansas, maybe Missouri The truth is I really ain’t sure But I’ve been in this van going on fifteen hours My back and my butt, God they hurt There’s a sign up ahead, flashing in red From Nashville, appearing tonight It’s always the same, they misspell my name Still I love the honkytonk life Hey Soir, grab the guitars, and I’ll get the speakers Could somebody plug in my amp If we hurry they’ll feed us, before we go on And I’ll work it out with the man Sometimes the beer’s free and sometimes it’s half price And sometimes there’s no beer at all But me and the boys’ll be making some noise Either way?til they give that last call The guys will be drinkin’, the girls will be dancing Dancing up there on the bar This joint’s got an atmosphere Blue collar, cold beer Decidedly come as you are I could quit all this road stuff Go back to my real job And put in a straight nine to five But I love the neon And I love the people And I love the honkytonk life
