Well, I think I'm in Kansas or 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 honky tonk 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, 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 And the guys will be drinking, 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, I love the people And I love the honky tonk life I got a wink from a barmaid straight out of a magazine Man, that girl's breaking my heart Now I've got ten after but according to tavern time This gig is fixing to start The crowd here is rowdier, the girls here are prettier Than any place we've ever played You've got us boys thinking if y'all keep on drinkin' Tonight we might all just get paid And the guys are all drinking, the girls are all 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 honky tonk life Yeah, I love the neon and I love the people And I love the honky tonk life, I love it
