Honky Tonk U - The Global HitMakers[00:00:00]
My grandmother owned a night club[00:00:13]
On the Arkansas Oklahoma line[00:00:15]
Mama put me on a Greyhound[00:00:22]
And I went to stay with her in the summertime[00:00:24]
I'd box up those empty long necks[00:00:30]
And stack 'em in the back and make a HAND[00:00:33]
Then at night she'd let me sneak out[00:00:39]
Of the kitchen and let me sit in with the band[00:00:41]
Yes I have sacked some quarterbacks[00:00:47]
And broke my share of bones along the way[00:00:50]
I knew it wouldn't last forever[00:00:56]
Semi pro always means semi pay[00:00:58]
I started climbing drilling rigs[00:01:04]
I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be yeah[00:01:06]
Then I took my songs and guitar[00:01:13]
And sang 'em to a man from Tennessee[00:01:15]
I've played every beer joint tavern[00:01:21]
From New York City out to Pasadena[00:01:23]
Every corn dog fair and rodeo[00:01:30]
And sold out every basketball arena[00:01:32]
Like to get down with my boys[00:01:38]
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too[00:01:40]
I am a red white and blue blood[00:01:46]
Graduate of Honky Tonk U[00:01:49]
A star can't burn forever[00:02:04]
And the brightest ones[00:02:06]
will someday lose their shine[00:02:07]
But the glass won't ever be[00:02:12]
Half empty in my optimistic mind[00:02:14]
I'll still have a song to sing[00:02:21]
And a band to turn it up and play it loud[00:02:23]
As long as there's a bar room[00:02:29]
With a corner stage and a honky tonk crowd[00:02:31]
I've played every beer joint tavern[00:02:37]
From New York City out to Pasadena[00:02:40]
Every corn dog fair and rodeo[00:02:46]
And sold out every basketball arena[00:02:48]
I like to get down with my boys[00:02:54]
In Afghanistan and Baghdad City too[00:02:57]
Son I'm a red white and blue blood[00:03:03]
Graduate of Honky Tonk U[00:03:05]
That's right a red white and blue blood[00:03:11]
Graduate of Honky Tonk U[00:03:14]
