You Got to Honky Tonk

When you wake up, when you wake up in the morning

And life knocks you down without warning

You gotta pick up that six string

And try to ease that suffering

With some Hank, Haggard, Waylon, and Willie too

You got to honky tonk

You got to get down in the swamp

You gotta wake it up shake it up

Until your screamin' go cat go

You gotta make it real greasy and let it fry

Serve it up hotter than the Fourth of July

You got to honk

You got to honky tonk

When life has taken a toll on you

And you don't have a trust fund to dip into

You can't think about tomorrow

You better go drown all your sorrows

And put on, put on your dancing shoes

You got to honky tonk

You got to get down in the swamp

You gotta wake it up shake it up

Until your screamin' go cat go

You gotta make it real greasy and let it fry

Serve it up hotter than the Fourth of July

You got to honk

You got to honky tonk

If you grew up on the blues

There's just one thing you can do

You got to honky tonk

You got to get down in the swamp

You gotta wake it up shake it up

Until your screamin' go cat go

You gotta make it real greasy and let it fry

Serve it up hotter than the Fourth of July

You got to honk

You got to kick and stomp

You got to honk

You got to honky tonk
