Honky Tonk World

Chris LeDoux · Other Songs - 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
