If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk — George Strait

If the whole world was a honky-tonk, And it revolved around an old jukebox, We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, Over cryin' steel guitars, And soon, they'd all be gone. Yeah, if you asked me what I thought, I'd say: "We'd be better off, "If the whole world was a honky-tonk."

You could smoke that cigarette, An' be politically incorrect. Show off that red 'round your neck: Not hear a single soul object. Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide, Who is wrong and who is right. No need for big expensive trials: Brother, we'd just step outside.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk, And it revolved around an old jukebox, We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, Over cryin' steel guitars, And soon, they'd all be gone. Yeah, if you asked me what I thought, I'd say: "We'd be better off, "If the whole world was a honky-tonk."

Wouldn't have to pay no tax: Just set a tip jar in the back. If we ran low, we'd pass the hat: I bet we'd all be in the black, If the whole world was a honky-tonk.

Instrumental Break.

And if you're lookin' love: Someone to heal that broken heart. Hey, buddy, you'd be in half. You wouldn't have to go that far.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk, And it revolved around an old jukebox, We'd tell our troubles to the Bar, Over cryin' steel guitars, And soon, they'd all be gone. If you asked me what I thought, I'd say: "We'd be better off, "If the whole world was a honky-tonk."

Life would be a three-chord song, And the king would be George Jones, If the whole world was a honky-tonk.

Instrumental Fade.
