If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk Lyrics - Somewhere Down In Texas - George Strait

Written by Ashley Goring, Wade Kirby and Hugh Simpson 

If the whole world was a honky-tonk, 

And it revolved around an old jukebox, 

We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, 

Over cryin' steel guitars, 

And soon, they'd all be gone. 

Yeah, if you asked me what I thought, 

I'd say: "We'd be better off, 

"If the whole world was a honky-tonk." 

You could smoke that cigarette, 

An' be politically incorrect. 

Show off that red 'round your neck: 

Not hear a single soul object. 

Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide, 

Who is wrong and who is right. 

No need for big expensive trials: 

Brother, we'd just step outside.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk, 

And it revolved around an old jukebox, 

We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, 

Over cryin' steel guitars, 

And soon, they'd all be gone. 

Yeah, if you asked me what I thought, 

I'd say: "We'd be better off, 

"If the whole world was a honky-tonk." 

Wouldn't have to pay no tax: 

Just set a tip jar in the back. 

If we ran low, we'd pass the hat: 

I bet we'd all be in the black, 

If the whole world was a honky-tonk. 

Instrumental Break. 

And if you're lookin' love: 

Someone to heal that broken heart. 

Hey, buddy, you'd be in half. 

You wouldn't have to go that far.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk, 

And it revolved around an old jukebox, 

We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, 

Over cryin' steel guitars, 

And soon, they'd all be gone. 

If you asked me what I thought, 

I'd say: "We'd be better off, 

"If the whole world was a honky-tonk." 

Life would be a three-chord song, 

And the king would be George Jones, 

If the whole world was a honky-tonk. 

Instrumental Fade.
