Honky-Tonk History

Got these calluses from all those nights

Spent playing a telecaster, till my fingers bled bud light

I got this scar in a beer bar brawl

Outside of Tuscaloosa, stitched it up in a bathroom stall

And I got this tattoo in the back of a pool room in east Tennessee

Oh, I got a long honkey-tonk history

See this solid gold watch change hand

Took it off a Texas oil tycoon in a backwoods poker game

Look at these holes in my tailgate

Their from Suzy Johnson's husband's snub nose 38

Thank god he's a bad shot and I had that toolbox, between him and me

Right or wrong that's my honkey-tonk history

I love the smell of cigarette's

And whiskey on a woman's breath

The sound of outlaw music sets me free

Blame it on my honkey-tonk history, oh

I'm just like my daddy and my daddy's daddy

(And his daddy before him)

I'm just like my daddy, and his daddy's daddy

(And his daddy before him)

I love the smell of cigarette's

And whiskey on a woman's breath

The sound of outlaw music sets me free

Right or wrong just carrying on my honkey-tonk, honkey-tonk history

Yeah, oh ho
