Honkytonk U

My grandmother owned a night club
On the Arkansas-Oklahoma line
Mama put me on a Greyhound
And I went to stay with her in the summertime
Id box up those empty long-necks
And stack em in the back and make a ham
Then at night shed let me sneak out
Of the kitchen and let me sit in with the band

Yes I have sacked some quarterbacks
And broke my share of bones along the way
I knew it wouldnt last forever
Semi-pro always means semi-payed
I started climbing drilling rigs
Im oil field trash and proud as I can be yeah
Then I took my songs and guitar
And sang em for a man from Tennessee

Ive played every beer joint tavern
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
Like to get down with my boys
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
I am a red white and blue blood
Graduate of Honky Tonk U

A star cant burn forever
And the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
But the glass wont ever be
Half empty in my optimistic mind
Ill still have a song to sing
And a band to turn it up and play it loud
As long as theres a bar room
With a corner stage and a honky tonk crowd

Ive played every beer joint tavern
From New York City out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too
