Lyrics
So you say the boys are gonna hit the bar tonight Yeah I was just thinking it's been years since we did it up right So I met them there at nine 'cept for ol' Dave, he's never on time Still, we got his drink 'cause he wouldn't be far behind Well, I tell you it was just like old times Tellin' old stories, and old jokes and lies I was thinking we were all having a pretty good time Then Al said "someone's got to talk to that band Every one of their songs makes you want to hold hands" So we followed him as he walked up to that stage and he said "Won't you play us one of them honkytonkin' songs The kind that we've been missin' for so long I don't know if I can stand to hear Another "lovey" one, man, you're ruinin' my beer Please, play us one of them honkytonkin' songs" They told him they'd play one real soon So we sat and stayed for a couple more tunes But it was clear that what we were hearing wasn't quite right It might have been good I couldn't quite tell With that lead guitar raisin' strange sound from hell We turned to leave when we heard someone yell "Can't you play us one of them honkytonkin' songs The kind that we've been waitin' for all night long I don't know if I can stand to hear Anymore rock and roll, boys, it's hurtin' our ears Please, play us one of them honkytonkin' songs Hey ! Turn up that steel guitar Try to make us feel like we're in the right bar And play us one of them honkytonkin' songs" Something like this...
