Honky Tonk Avenue Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Oh, I know wanna sound weak 

Is lookin' old and time to seek 

While the hooker in the doorway 

Leaves to turn another cheek 

And the jukebox in the Camberlay 

Is blearing out the blues 

But the blues is just a way of life 

On Honky tonk Avenue 

Where the swingers and the hustlers 

And the evening people dwell 

Where the neon shines toward heaven 

While it lights the way to hell 

Time to survive and time to stay alive 

S'about all a man can do 

You can make it anywhere 

If you can make it out there 

On Honky tonk Avenue 

Where all birds of a feather 

Were out here on the street 

In all kinds of weather 

Were all in this thing together 

Were just trying to make a living 

Just trying to get by 

It's a one-way street to nowhere 

Where nothing's as it seems 

It's a multi-car junkyard 

Full of a thousand broken dreams 

And it's the end of the line 

Where the sun don't shine 

And there's nothing left to lose 

Well it sure ain't a lot but it's all that we've got 

On Honky-Tonk Avenue 

Where all birds of a feather 

Were out here on the street in all kinds of weather 

Were all in this thing together 

Were just trying to make a living 

Just trying to get by 

Were just trying to make a living 

Just trying to get by 

Oh, I know wanna sound weak 

Is lookin' old and time to seek
