Honky Tonks Nightclubs Bars & Dives

I                                                                         II

While driving home from work one night I saw a flashing light

          IV                            V                            I                                                                                                                                 said ‘here it is we’ve got shuffle board and beer

I                                      II                                                         

BYOB come on in wet t-shirt contest starts at ten we’ve got a

IV                                         V

 red hot band and there’s parking in the rear

So I eased my truck around in back the parking lot was fairly packed but I found a spot and I nosed her into place

I paid my dollar at the door then like so many times before I stepped inside and made myself some space

Chorus

IV                                                          I

I’ve always loved them honky tonks nightclubs bars and dives                      

II                                                                  V

A hole in the wall or an ice house mama makes me feel alive

                               I                                                 II

Yeah, yeah, yeah it don’t matter where I am in Texas I’ll

                               IV                  V

 survive If there’s honky tonks nightclubs bars and dives

There’s always one with golden hair looks like she don’t belong in there that makes me want to go and take a chance

So I spend my money like a fool on steaks and drinks and shootin’ pool that’s when she tells me she just came to dance

So I get back in my pickup truck almost broke and out of luck

Preparing for my lonely ride back home

When just like magic she appears leans and whispers in my ear

Hey, I’m in the book why don’t you call me on the phone

Chorus and end
