Honky Tonk Friends Lyrics - Waitin' In The Country - Jason Michael Carroll

I like my next-door-neighbor 

We do each other favors sometimes 

We threw somethin' on the grill 

Sat around and chilled just the other night 

And we talk about our lawns 

And the going's on in our neighborhood 

Yeah, he's a real nice guy 

That's all fine and good 

He ain't my honky tonk friends 

Nobody really understands me like them 

I love the songs that they sing, I love the drinks that they drink 

I love the dances they dance 

They don't make fun of my drawl 

Keep somethin' cold and tall in my hands 

I ain't gonna pretend, they take me just like I am 

I love my honky tonk friends 

I like my growin' up buddies 

We still keep in touch now and then 

And them folks down at the office 

Really ain't all that stiff 

And I met some real good people 

Underneath the steeple in town 

And I'll still make time for them 

But as for right now 

I want my honky tonk friends 

Nobody really understands me like them 

I love the songs that they sing, I love the drinks that they drink 

I love the dances they dance 

They don't make fun of my drawl, will y'all? 

Keep somethin' cold and tall in my hands 

I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am 

I love my honky tonk friends 

Well, we light each other's smokes 

And we bend each other's ears 

And we laugh at each other's stupid jokes 

And we buy each other beers 

Then we lose our butts in pool 

But we win it back in darts 

And we lend each other shoulders 

When someone breaks our hearts 

I love my honky tonk friends 

Nobody really understands me like them 

I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am 

I love my honky tonk friends 

I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am 

I love my honky tonk friends
