Every Little Honky Tonk Bar Lyrics - George Strait

Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge 

Ice creates the water that's no longer runnin' under it 

Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart 

Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes 

The jukebox plays Hank, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" 

Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are 

That's what happens in every little honky tonk bar 

Friday night, it's a given 

We'll be L-I-V-N, livin' 

We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the car 

Monday morning, it's a given 

We'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin' 

And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Neon lights flashin' bright 'til you're almost hypnotized 

Red dress, short skirt, gets it on 'bout every night 

Comin' and goin', always rollin' with the flow 

Bartender pourin' drinks, Código double shots 

You think you're tall and bulletproof until somebody says you're not 

Step outside thinkin' you're gonna show 'em you are 

That's what happens in every little honky tonk bar

We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the car 

Monday morning, it's a given 

I'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin' 

And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar 

Yeah that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar 

Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
