lyrics

Honky Tonk In My Mind

Well, there's a honky tonk in my mind
A honky tonk in my mind
I cant forget you but I bet you
Never would have left me
If only you had met me
At the honky tonk in my mind

What on earth is wrong with me
To sing this song to you
If this old world still had a heart
You would break that too
I'm a castaway on a plastic sea
One of thousands just like me
And the barman asks me, "What'll it be?"
Like I'm supposed to know

But there's a honky tonk in my mind
A honky tonk in my mind
I cant forget you but I bet you
Never would have left me
If only you had met me
At the honky tonk in my mind

How'm I supposed to tell you
The way it feels inside
When your love leaves
And never sees
The place your feelings hide
I know the world you're living in
But I don't feel like giving in
'Cause you're finished soon as you begin
To tell that tale of woe

At the honky tonk in my mind
A honky tonk in my mind
I cant forget you but I bet you
Never would have left me
If only you had met me
At the honky tonk in my mind

That steel guitar is playing
Those old empty bed blues
And shakes its head in wonder
That you still ain't heard the news
Drop a quarter in the jukebox
That only I can hear
Hank Williams blows the tenor
And Ray Charles draws the beer

Wont' you listen to that music
Any more with me?
You could turn it up
And sweep the floor with me

At the honky tonk in my mind
A honky tonk in my mind
I cant forget you but I bet you
Never would have left me
If only you had met me
At the honky tonk in my mind
