As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes `round
I`ll be sittin` on a bar stool
Pourin` cold ones down
Watchin` hearts get broken
From hard lessons they`ve learned
It`s just a typical evenin`
As the honky tonk turns.
Ol` Frank always plays the same ol` song
And sometimes he even thinks that he`s George Jones
But it tears ol` Lester up to hear that jukebox play his life
And he`ll tell us once again
Just how he lost his wife.
As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes `round
I`ll be sittin` on a bar stool
Pourin` cold ones down
Watchin` hearts get broken
From hard lessons they`ve learned
It`s just a typical evenin`
As the honky tonk turns.
--- Instrumental ---
Last night I watched Charlene fall in love
For the third time this week that I know of
But tonight she`ll be here feeling sorry for herself
Drinkin` like there`s no tomorrow
And leaning on somebody else.
As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes `round
I`ll be sittin` on a bar stool
Pourin` cold ones down
Watchin` hearts get broken
From hard lessons they`ve learned
It`s just a typical evenin`
As the honky tonk turns.
It`s just a typical evenin`
As the honky tonk turns...
