Chesnutt Mark - Somebody Save The Honky Tonks Songtexte

I drove down to The Trap but the joint was closed
Lately theyve been droppin like Dominos
All of my favorite waterin holes are dryin up
Tell me is it too much for a man to ask
To hear Haggard and Jones sing CC Waterback
With the lights so low
And cold drafts will cost you one buck
Enoughs enough.

Chorus:
Somebody save the honky tonks
The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox
Wheres the workin man gonna go to get tore up
When the last ones tore down
Somebody save the neon lights
And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line
Everyday another piece of historys lost
Somebody save the honky tonks.

Well, its enough to bring a tear to a blood shot eye
Not knowin where to go on a Friday night
To get down and get loud
And unwind from a hard day
Listen, we the people got a make a stand
Maybe write a letter to our congressman
Show some support for the drinkin man
We cant wait, until its too late.

Chorus:
Somebody save the honky tonks
The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox
Wheres the workin man gonna go to get tore up
When the last ones tore down
Somebody Save the neon lights
And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line
Everyday another piece of historys lost
Somebody save the honky tonks.

Why dont they take that ol wreckin ball
To the uppity bars, down at the mall
All Im askin, all I want
Somebody save the honky tonks.
