I'll bet them bartenders been missing me And I sure could use an old familiar crowd The lack thereof my get-right is killing me But I'll come to when I walk through those swinging doors tonight Getting back onto a-honky tonk time Where my world goes 'round three quarters at a time If I can make it through the thought of you and him in just one night Getting back onto that honky tonk time You said my life was surrounded by Too much booze, cheating, and lies I'd like to thank you for the truth 'cause I found it And you'd be glad to know I've finally seen the light Getting back onto a-honky tonk time Where my world goes 'round three quarters at a time If I can make it through the thought of you and him in just one night Getting back on to that honky tonk time Hell, I'm getting back onto that honky tonk time
