Somebody Save The Honky Tonks Lyrics - Chesnutt Mark

I drove down to The Trap but the joint was closed 

Lately theyve been droppin like Dominos 

All of my favorite waterin holes are dryin up 

Tell me is it too much for a man to ask 

To hear Haggard and Jones sing CC Waterback 

With the lights so low 

And cold drafts will cost you one buck 

Enoughs enough. 

Chorus: 

Somebody save the honky tonks 

The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox 

Wheres the workin man gonna go to get tore up 

When the last ones tore down 

Somebody save the neon lights 

And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line 

Everyday another piece of historys lost 

Somebody save the honky tonks. 

Well, its enough to bring a tear to a blood shot eye 

Not knowin where to go on a Friday night 

To get down and get loud 

And unwind from a hard day 

Listen, we the people got a make a stand 

Maybe write a letter to our congressman 

Show some support for the drinkin man 

We cant wait, until its too late. 

Chorus: 

Somebody save the honky tonks 

The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox 

Wheres the workin man gonna go to get tore up 

When the last ones tore down 

Somebody Save the neon lights 

And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line 

Everyday another piece of historys lost 

Somebody save the honky tonks.
