If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk

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

And 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

And if you're lookin' for 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
