Honky Tonk Friends
Embracing the Bonds of Honky Tonk Friendship
Lyrics
Well I like my next-door-neighbor
Expressing fondness for the next-door neighbor.
We do each other favors sometimes
Reciprocal favors exchanged with the neighbor.
We threw somethin' on the grill
Describing a casual gathering with the neighbor involving grilling.
Sat around and chilled just the other night
Relaxing and spending time together recently.
And we talk about our lawns and the goin's on
Discussing lawn care and neighborhood activities with the neighbor.
In our neighborhood
Highlighting common interests and shared experiences in the neighborhood.
Yeah, he's a real nice guy...that's all fine and good
Describing the neighbor as a nice person.
He ain't my honky tonk friends
Expressing a preference for honky tonk friends over the neighbor.
Nobody really understands me like them
Stating that honky tonk friends understand the speaker better than others.
I love the songs that they sing, I love the drinks that they drink,
Expressing love for the music, drinks, and dances associated with honky tonk culture.
I love the dances they dance
Appreciating the lifestyle and activities of honky tonk friends.
They don't make fun of my drawl, keep somethin' cold and tall in my hand

I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
Highlighting the authenticity of the relationship with honky tonk friends.
I love my honky tonk friends
Expressing love for honky tonk friends in general.
I like my growin' up buddies, we still keep in touch now and then
Mentioning ongoing connection with childhood friends.
And them folks down at the office really ain't all that stiff
Asserting that colleagues at the office are not overly formal.
And I met some real good people underneath the steeple in town
Recognizing good people within the community.
I'll still make time for them, but as for right now
Prioritizing honky tonk friends at the moment.
I want my honky tonk friends
Reiterating the desire for honky tonk friends.
Nobody really understands me like them
Reaffirming the understanding and connection with honky tonk friends.
I love the songs that they sing, I love the drinks that they drink,

They don't make fun of my drawl (will y'all) (hell naw), keep somethin' cold and tall in my hand

I ain't gotta pretend, they take me just like I am
Underlining the genuine acceptance without the need for pretense.

Well, we light each other's smokes and we bend each other's ear
Describing mutual support and camaraderie among honky tonk friends.
And we laugh at each other's stupid jokes and we buy each other beers
Highlighting shared laughter and the exchange of small gestures among honky tonk friends.
Then we lose our butts in pool but we win it back in darts
