As The Honky Tonk Turns

(album: Wings - 1995)

As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sitting on a bar stool
Pouring cold ones down
Watching hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical evening
As the honky tonk turns

Ol' Frank always plays the same ol' song
And sometimes he even thinks that he's George Jones
But it tears ol' Lester up to hear that jukebox play his life
And he'll tell us once again
Just how he lost his wife

As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sitting on a bar stool
Pouring cold ones down
Watching hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical evening
As the honky tonk turns

Last night I watched Charlene fall in love
For the third time this week that I know of
But tonight she'll be here feeling sorry for herself
Drinking like there's no tomorrow
And leaning on somebody else

As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sitting on a bar stool
Pouring cold ones down
Watching hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical evening
As the honky tonk turns

It's just a typical evening
As the honky tonk turns...
