"Open Up My Honky Tonk" I've drank up several Cadillacs and maybe a Rolls or two furnished a mansion with luxuries while cryin in my blues this honky tonk's been misery as well as my joy and if weren't for what I spent, some wouldn't been employed So....Open up my honky tonk, the one you closed on down ,it held my mem-o-'ries in it ,even those I wasn't proud Someone give me back those days, when I had a life jus open up my honky tonk ....one more time I get off work and I feel lost , ain't sure where to go my stomping grounds been shut on down , the one I used to know I drive by the other joints, but they just don't seem right they don't have what mine had ,so I just pass them by So....Open up my honky tonk, the one you closed on down ,it held my mem-o-'ries in it ,even those I wasn't proud Someone give me back those days, when I had a life jus open up my honky tonk ....one more time Shake the cobwebs off the door, get a new lock n key turn the marquis lights back on, put out a sign for me Hire back 'ol what's her name the one I didn't like just open up my honky tonk..... one more time So....Open up my honky tonk, the one you closed on down ,it held my mem-o-'ries in it ,even those I wasn't proud Someone give me back those days, when I had a life jus open up my honky tonk ....one more time jus open up my honky tonk ....one more time Copyright © "Open up my Honky Tonk"by Gary D.GrayAll Rights Reserved 02-05-2008/ (BMI)
