Honkytonk Bar

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've seen myself wide open spaces But it's hard to beat a six string at a bar 'Cause whenever I hear "Friends in Low Places" I can't help but drop my money in that jar [Pre-Chorus] I tell 'em, "Take me back to 'Strawberry Wine' " Raise 'em up and killin' time Singing every word to "Mama Tried" [Chorus] Oh, I thank Jesus for country music gold From "Sweet Home Alabama" to Waylon, Cash and Jones When my soul needs healing I grab my guitar 'Cause my favorite memories are the ones that start at a Honkytonk bar At a Honkytonk bar [Verse 2] I could be sittin' on a Rocky Mountain high Sippin' on some Tennessee whisky Give me Buffet on a beachin' kinda night Where the cover band plays early Kenny Chesney [Pre-Chorus] I tell 'em, "Take me back to 'Strawberry Wine' " Raise 'em up and killin' time Singing every word to "Mama Tried" [Chorus] Oh, I thank Jesus for country music gold From "Sweet Home Alabama" to Waylon, Cash and Jones When my soul needs healing I grab my guitar 'Cause my favorite memories are the ones that start at a Honkytonk bar At a Honkytonk bar [Bridge] So if you wave goodbye to Earl and hey Jolene (Hey Jolene) Well, raise 'em up to the sky and sing with me [Chorus] Yeah, I thank Jesus for country music gold From "Sweet Home Alabama" to Waylon, Cash and Jones When my soul needs healing I grab my guitar 'Cause my favorite memories are the ones that start at a Honkytonk bar At a Honkytonk bar [Outro] And take me back to "Strawberry Wine" baby, ooh Killin' time
