American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

(album: In Pieces - 1993)

If your paycheck depends on
The weather and the clock
If your conversation calls for
A little more than a coffee pot

If you need to pour your heart out
And try to rectify some situation
That you're facing
Contact your American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

When Uncle Sam dips in your pocket
For most things you don't mind
But when your dollar goes to all of those
Standing in a welfare line

Rejoice, you have a voice
If you're concerned about the destination
Of this great nation
It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

It represents the hardhat
Gunrack, achin'-back
Over-taxed, flag-waving, fun-loving crowd
Their heart is in the music
And they love to play it loud

There's no forms or no applications
There's no red-tape administrations
It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

We're all one big family
Throughout the cities and the towns
We don't reach for handouts
We reach for those who are down

And every local chapter has a seven-day-a-week-available consultation
For your frustration
It's called the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association

It represents the mud flaps
Six pack, beer crack
Over-taxed, flag-waving, fun-loving crowd
Their heart is in the music
And they love to play it loud

There's no forms or no applications
There's no red-tape administrations
It's the American Honky-Tonk Bar Association
