Ain't no honky-tonks in this town Smoky bars and neon lights Ain't no juke box in the corner
Playing hank songs every night Ain't no steel guitar and fiddle Shuffling dancers across the floor There ain't no honky-tonks in this town And I can't take it anymore
Well these night been sad and lonely Since they closed the foothill down No more nights at the palomino Where I heard that lonesome sound Got no place to drown my sorrow To the sound of "misery and gin" Are they really gone forever? We've got to bring them back again
Ain't no honky-tonks in this town Smoky bars and neon lights Ain't no juke box in the corner Playing george jones every night Ain't no steel guitar and fiddle Shuffling dancers across the floor There ain't no honky-tonks in this town And I can't take it anymore
They got bluegrass out in nashville Man I love those harmonies They got red dirt in oklahoma But that's just rock n roll to me Since they closed the armadillo A part of history was gone Yeah even out in texas You know its barely hanging on
Ain't no honky-tonks in this town Smoky bars and neon lights Ain't no juke box in the corner Playing waylon every night Ain't no steel guitar and fiddle Shuffling dancers across the floor There ain't no honky-tonks in this town And I can't take it anymore
