King of the Honky Tonk
You can find me on a hardwood floor
I'm the King of the Honky Tonk
There's a swirl of fun around my throne
Every Friday night, in the neon lights
I hold court with juke joint royalty
We have a lot of fun open to anyone
Where the beer and the liquor flow
If you come to play, you'll soon know my name
As we toast to love and America
I'll probably buy a round for the whole damned crowd
And everybody will sing my praise
Here's to the King of the Honky Tonk
Weaving through peanut shells on the floor
King of the Honky Tonk
Making friends with all who swing through the door
Every Saturday night, there may be a fight
Over anything from love or wars
They won't call the law, we have our own protocol
For lover's spats and barroom brawls
When things get out of hand, call the king of the land
To cool 'em down and bring peace to the room
I'll buy 'em all a beer, they'll share how they feel
And leave that night as lifelong friends
Thanks to the King of the Honky Tonk
Everybody's best friend in the room
King of the Honky Tonk
All the band members know my name
I'm gonna stroll boys
How 'bout some fiddle
King of the Honky Tonk
Waltzin' with every gal who comes through the door
King of the Honky Tonk
Stop on by and have a drink with the King
King of the Honky Tonk
You can find me on a hardwood floor
I'm the King of the Honky Tonk
Making friends with all who swing through the door
Everybody's best friend in the room
Stop on by and have a drink with the King
