Honky Tonker

So much going on in the world today I feel so out of touch

All the things we know, but don't understand, I guess we know too much

All my dreams of twangin' steel guitars, I guess they've fallen through

I'm a honky tonker in tomorrow's world, and I don't know what to do

Yeah, the times I know they're changing, and kids keep growing up

But my music loves, they've stuck with me, from when I was a pup

And my friends are getting older, and their tastes are falling through

I'm a honky tonker in tomorrow's world, and I don't know what to do

I need that swinging beat, and the dancing feet, to keep me feelin' right

And the classic tunes that move me, and drinkin' every night

There's times that I've been wondering, what Hank and Merle would think

Would they play along, to the hip new song, or would it drive them both to drink

I guess I should be open, I might like a song or two, but

I'm a honky tonker in tomorrow's world, and I don't know what to do

I never wanted to be that old man, that the world will leave behind

But the new stuff I've been hearing, don't bring no peace of mind

The world it keeps on turning, the way it always will

And all the miracles the future brings, they really are a thrill

But I love my old school country, and I know that you do too

I'm a honky tonker in tomorrow's world, and I don't know what to do

I'm a honky tonker in tomorrow's world, and I don't know what to do
