There’s a place down the street

Where my friends congregate
And when we sit on those bar stools
We’re not alone
10 am the lights are on
Beer’s cold, the whiskey’s strong
And we’re drowning those memories
One by one

You can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
If you’re tryin’ to hang on

To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home

The neon lights are bright
Even tho it’s past midnight
And the band’s packed up and moved on
Stare at the clock on the wall
Bartender says last call
And I start missin’ her most of all

So, you can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
So if you’re tryin’ to hang on
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home
Too many reasons not to go back home

GOODTIME HONKY TONK
VERSE
Just a little past the county line
Where the kudzu’s growin’ up the cross road sign

Sun’s sinkin’ thru the pine
You’ll find the goodtime honky tonk

VERSE
Just one happy family
Blowin’ off steam at the end of the week
Yes sir, no ma’am, thank you, please
At the goodtime honky tonk

CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
Jukebox sittin’ on the old front porch
Punch those numbers and hit the floor
We all know what we’re here for

At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
None of that new country breed
Just Hank and Lefty and some Brenda Lee
Listen to Willie puff some weed
At the goodtime Honky Tonk


CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Heyeeeee

You can take my arms, you can cut the veins
You can build upon my sweat and pain
You can try to break this wooden frame
But what you can’t have is a crown to reign

Somewhere deep inside of me, I know I’m not alone
I can see the enemy, staring through the back of me
If you think that I’ll be easy, go ahead and test that lie
Tease that charge for battle,
I can only hope you try

Hey girl, wake up here is a song for you
If you feel you don’t fit in this place you are wrong, you do belong
Hey girl, even if the world is against you,
Gotta rise up, no matter what
Keep your head up, don’t stop the fight

You have this magic inside
And the power to make it all arise

Throw your hands up

And seize those lights
You know stars shine even in the dark
Never ever let your sparkle fade away
Just be yourself hey hey hey
You don’t have to change hey hey hey
Just get it real

Be proud of who you are
And how you’re handling the hard times
I know I know I know
The mask on your face
And the smile you fake
You are not alone thinking you’re losing control
Just close your eyes and remember you are so strong

Throw your hands up
And seize those lights
You know stars shine even in the dark
Never ever let your sparkle fade away
Just be yourself hey hey hey
You don’t have to change hey hey hey
Just get it real

You have this magic inside
And the power to make it all arise

Throw your hands up
And seize those lights
You know stars shine even in the dark
Never ever let your sparkle fade away
Just be yourself hey hey hey
You don’t have to change hey hey hey
Just get it real
