Welcome To Tom's

(album: Western White Pines - 2023)

Well, they shut down the lumber mill in 'ninety-three
And I lost my job had to move from the sticks to the city
But this concrete jungle's been killing me
And them cocaine cowboys all wear skinny jeans
But tonight, I'm headed back out to BFE
I'm looking for a rowdy small-town company

It's where the people are so nice
Everybody can just get right
And they say, welcome to Tom's
It's a 5-star honky tonk bar

Welcome to Tom's, we're open all night long
Smoke 'em if you got 'em, we got deals on Pall Malls
Put a quarter in the jukebox and hear that Haggard song
Well, now every Tuesday is karaoke night
Taking pickle back whiskeys and drinking Miller Lites
Voted best in the west for population under 225
If you find yourself out past the county line
Take Highway 8 to the neon sign that says
Welcome to Tom's, it's a 5-star honky tonk bar

Well, now Kami's there every morning before 8
And you'll never not see a smile on her face
Slinging drinks and cracking jokes nearly everyday
And she donates all she can to the local 4H

It's where the people are so nice
Lordy, everybody can just get right
They say, welcome to Tom's
It's a 5-star honky tonk bar

Welcome to Tom's we're open all night long
Smoke 'em if you got 'em, we got deals on Pall Malls
Put a quarter in the jukebox and hear that Haggard song
Well, now every Tuesday is karaoke night
Taking pickle back whiskeys and drinking Miller Lites
Voted best in the west for population under 225
If you find yourself out past the county line
Take Highway 8 to the neon sign that says
Welcome to Tom's, it's a 5-star honky tonk bar

Welcome to Tom's we're open all night long
Smoke 'em if you got 'em, we got deals on Pall Malls
Put a quarter in the jukebox and hear that Haggard song
Every Tuesday is karaoke night
Taking pickle back whiskeys and drinking Miller Lites
Voted best in the west for population under 225
If you find yourself out past the county line
Take Highway 8 to the neon sign that says
Welcome to Tom's, it's a 5-star honky tonk bar

Nothing will make your liver quiver like a night in Elk River
I can't get there any quicker to Tom's, a 5-star honky tonk bar
