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
