The Last Honky Tonk Lyrics - Singles - Wayne Mills

Well the way things are going 

It won't be very long 

Till them flashing neon signs 

Are all but gone 

They say the nightlife ain't the right life 

Pour the whiskey down the drain 

Melt down all those 45's 

That talk about trucks and trains 

CHORUS 

I'll be there when they burn 

The last honky-tonk down 

In body, mind, and spirit 

Under the table or under the ground 

The fading echoes of a bar-room band 

Might be the only sound 

I'll be there when they burn 

The last honky-tonk down 

Pull the jukebox from the ashes 

Dust it off, and turn it on 

We'll dance in the burning embers until dawn 

We'll pull a double from the row 

And we'll drink to the good ol' days 

Sit there till the smoke clears 

And my last selection plays 

CHORUS 

I'll be there when they burn 

The last honky-tonk down 

In body, mind, and spirit 

Under the table or under the ground 

The fading echoes of a bar-room band 

Might be the only sound 

I'll be there when they burn 

The last honky-tonk down 

INST. 

CHORUS 

I'll be there when they burn 

The last honky-tonk down 

In body, mind, and spirit 

Under the table or under the ground 

The fading echoes of the bar-room band 

Might be the only sound 

I'll be there when they burn 

The last honky-tonk down 

I'll be there when they burn 

The last honky-tonk down
