As the honky tonk turns and the world goes ‘round
I’ll be sittin’ on a bar stool Pourin’ cold ones down
Watchin’ hearts get broken from hard lessons they’ve learned
It’ just a typical evenin’
As the honky tonk turns
Ol’ Frank always plays the same ol’ songs
And sometimes he even thinks that he’s George Jones
But it tears ol’ Lester up to hear that jukebox play his life
And he’ll tell us once again just how he lost his wife
As the honky tonk turns and the world goes ‘round
I’ll be sittin’ on a bar stool Pourin’ cold ones down
Watchin’ hearts get broken from hard lessons they’ve learned
It’ just a typical evenin’
As the honky tonk turns
Last night I watched Charlene fall in love
For the third time this week that I know of
But tonight she’ll be here
Feeling sorry for herself
Drinking like there’s no tomorrow
And leaning on somebody else
It’s just a typical evening
As the honky tonk turns
