Honky Tonk If You Love Country
Aaron Tippin · Stars and Stripes
An old cinderblock building looks half
torn down
Just hang a left down the lost highway
Keep going till you see the signs that say
CHORUS
Honky tonk if you love country
Honky tonk you whole life long
Honky tonk if you love country
That's what keeps this country strong
Them little ladies in the kitchen can't be
beat
They've got your hard-boiled eggs and
your pickled pig feet
Don't you try to order no imported beer
That truck only runs from St. Louie to
here
REPEAT CHORUS
All the girls get frisky on Friday night
When the band starts playing don't you
be surprised
We do things different when we start to
rock
Yeah, we hop on the hiop and we hip on the
hop
REPEAT CHORUS
We'll be the life of the party at the party
of your life
You might even meet your next ex-wife
Ain't no better place for you to be
In the home of the brave and the land of
the free
REPEAT CHORUS (TWICE)
