Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Ice creates the water thats no longer runnin under it
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
The jukebox plays Hank Im So Lonesome I Could Cry
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are
And thats what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, its a given
Ill be L-I-V-N, livin
Well dance on the bar til were sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, its a given
Ill be D-R-A-G-N, draggin
And thats what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Neon lights flashin bright til youre almost hypnotized
Waitress, short skirt gets hit on by every guy
Comin and goin always rollin with the flow
Bartender pourin drinks cdigo double shots
You think youre tall and bulletproof until somebody says youre not
Step outside thinkin youre gonna show em you are
Thats what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, its a given
Well be L-I-V-N, livin
Well dance on the bar til were sleeping it off in the car
Monday morning, its a given
Well be D-R-A-G-N, draggin
And thats what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Yeah thats what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
