Lyrics

“Honk If You Honky Tonk”

 

 

Well, I got a bumper sticker on the back of my truckThere ain’t another like it ’cause I had it made upI can tell who’s behind me, they give themselves awayLay on their horn when they read this phrase[Chorus:]
Honk if you honky tonk, don’t if you don’t
But if you do, don’t you love to, honk if you honky tonk

Me and Friday night go hand in hand
Ice cold beer and a swingin’ band
A girl on my arm that won’t let go
She caught my little sign about a mile ago

[Chorus]

Well, just the other day I was cruisin’ through town
Sheriff pulled me over, I thought I had it now
I rolled down my window, he said with a grin
“I want one of them stickers or I’m gonna run you in.”

[Chorus 2x]

Honky if you honky tonk
I hear ya honkin’, yeah
I’m pullin’ over, let’s honky tonk
