Honky Tonk Hell

18 wheeler, back road dealer, hundred different ways to ride If you'd have seen what I seen Done what I done you'd be lookin for a place to hide Even if I had a shiny silver dollar Every time I passed the promised land I'd still be 2 bucks shy, at the back of line Cause they ain't ever gonna let me in When my pride got the best of me When my pride got the best of me I was a stuck up no good son of a gun til the good lord set me free Found a way to put it all together Tried to make the whole world see Foolish pride begone Glory Saint Mary Hallelujah let me be Cold hard money cash and clothes, livin it up everyday Weekend trips down to Vegas right up until the repo came There I was on the ground with the shit comin down Til I saw shimmering light Lady Luck in a 2 piece bikini Come to fly me home through the night When the dealer got ahold of me When the dealer got ahold of me I was a rollin, reelin, two time cheating Til the good lord set me free Found a way to put it altogether Tried to make the whole world see Dirty dealin begone Glory St. Mary Hallelujah let me be Now Honky Tonk Hell is a hell of a place They got a big old dance room hall Seats reserved for all the folks down in Nashville Writing phony ass country songs And if people ever get to askin Mr. Gabe Lee how you end up here?
