Honky Tonk World Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

There used to be a time candlelight and wine 

Was all that a woman would need 

Man you were a winner if you took her out to dinner 

Or a movie she wanted to see 

But the world has turned and it's time you learned 

That the old ain't working no more 

Yeah the rules have changed it's brand new game 

And buddy if you want to score 

You've got to get off the couch get out of the house 

Long about Friday night 

Shine up your boots polish up your moves 

If you want to keep her satisfied 

Oh a little bump and grind will do it every time 

If you want to keep your little girl 

But you don't stand a chance 

'Less you take her out and dance 

'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world 

Well sooner or later all you couch potatoes 

Where you're gonna be the lonely one 

And if you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up 

And you better know your Brook's from your Dunn's 

Don't even think that your Engelbert Humperdink 

Record's gonna turn her on 

'Cause Mister you can bet if you don't know the steps 

Then you're gonna get left at home 

You've got to get off the couch get out of the house 

Long about Friday night 

Shine up your boots polish up your moves 

If you want to keep her satisfied 

You know a little bump and grind will do it every time 

If you want to keep your little girl 

But you don't stand a chance 

'Less you take her out and dance 

'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world 

Now if you were cro-magnon you'd be draggin' 

Them woman by the hair to your cave 

You'd be down on your knees citing them soliloquies 

Back in Romeo's day 

Yeah you'd be kind of nifty if we were in the Fifties 

And you had a cool car to drive 

But we're living in the Nineties so you better shake your hiney 

Or you're gonna get left behind 

You've got to get off the couch get out of the house 

Long about Friday night 

Shine up your boots polish up your moves 

If you want to keep her satisfied 

You know a little bump and grind will do it every time 

If you want to keep your little girl 

But you don't stand a chance 

'Less you take her out and dance 

'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world 

No you don't stand a chance 

'Less you take her out and dance 

'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world
