As The Honky Tonk Turns

As the honky tonk turns

And the world goes 'round

I'll be sittin' on a bar stool

Pourin' cold ones down

Watchin' hearts get broken

From hard lessons they've learned

It's just a typical evenin'

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 sittin' on a bar stool

Pourin' cold ones down

Watchin' hearts get broken

From hard lessons they've learned

It's just a typical evenin'

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

Drinkin' like there's no tomorrow

And leaning on somebody else

As the honky tonk turns

And the world goes 'round

I'll be sittin' on a bar stool

Pourin' cold ones down

Watchin' hearts get broken

From hard lessons they've learned

It's just a typical evenin'

As the honky tonk turns

It's just a typical evenin'

As the honky tonk turns
