Honky Tonk Friends

I like my next-door-neighbor
We do each other favors sometimes
We threw somethin on the grill
Sat around and chilled just the other night
And we talk about our lawns
And the goings on in our neighborhood
Yeah, hes a real nice guy
Thats all fine and good
He aint my honky tonk friends
Nobody really understands me like them
I love the songs that they sing,
I love the drinks that they drink
I love the dances they dance
They dont make fun of my drawl
Keep somethin cold and tall in my hands
I aint gonna pretend , they take me just like
I amI love my honky tonk friends
I like my growin up buddies
We still keep in touch now and then
And them folks down at the office
Really aint all that stiff
And I met some real good people
Underneath the steeple in town
And Ill still make time for them
But as for right now
I want my honky tonk friends
Nobody really understands me like them
I love the songs that they sing,
I love the drinks that they drink
I love the dances they dance
They dont make fun of my drawl, will yall?
Keep somethin cold and tall in my hands
I aint gotta pretend, they take me just like
I amI love my honky tonk friends
Well, we light each others smokes
And we bend each others ears
And we laugh at each others stupid jokes
And we buy each other beers
Then we lose our butts in pool
But we win it back in darts
And we lend each other shoulders
When someone breaks our hearts
I love my honky tonk friends
Nobody really understands me like them
I aint gotta pretend, they take me just like
I amI love my honky tonk friends
I aint gotta pretend, they take me just like
I amI love my honky tonk friends
