Honky Tonks Ain't for Heroes
Unveiling the Loneliness: Honky Tonks and the Resilience of the Unbroken
Lyrics
Honky Tonks ain't for heroes they're for the lonely
Honky Tonks (bars or clubs with country music) aren't meant for brave or courageous individuals; they cater to those who feel isolated and alone.
Half pints and slow dances for those with only
Small amounts of alcohol and slow dances are what's available for people who have very little in life.
One chance to let go one chance to get by
There's only one opportunity to release one's troubles or burdens and one chance to survive.
Honky Tonks ain't for heroes cause they never die
Honky Tonks aren't places for heroes because those who frequent them seem to exist perpetually and don't face a noble or dramatic end.
Where do you go to feel alone
Where can you go to experience solitude?
Familiar face in the crowd
Even in a crowd, you may find a familiar face, but still feel disconnected.
Riding the highs but mostly lows
Experiencing occasional highs but mostly lows in life.
Too head strong to ever come down
Too stubborn or determined to ever surrender or give in.
Honky Tonks ain't for heroes they're for the lonely
Honky Tonks aren't suitable for heroic individuals; they're designed for those who feel isolated.
Half pints and slow dances for those with only
Similar to line 2, mentioning the limited options available for people with few resources.
One chance to let go one chance to get by
Just one opportunity to release and cope, and one chance to survive.
Honky Tonks ain't for heroes cause they never die
Bars like Honky Tonks aren't meant for heroic figures because such individuals seemingly live on without a dramatic or legendary conclusion.
Mesmerized with the shimmer
Fascinated or captivated by the gleaming and bright neon lights.
Glow of the neon lights
The allure and attraction of the neon lights.
Build you up with a quickness
The environment initially elevates your spirits quickly.
Then send you out in the night
But eventually, it casts you out into the darkness of the night.
Honky Tonks ain't for heroes they're for the lonely
Similar to line 1, reiterating that these places aren't for courageous or heroic individuals; they cater to those who feel isolated.
Half pints and slow dances for those with only
Reiteration of the limited offerings for people who lack resources.
One chance to let go one chance to get by
Again, emphasizing the single chance to let go and survive.
Honky Tonks ain't for heroes cause they never die
Restating that Honky Tonks aren't meant for heroic individuals because they seem to exist indefinitely without a dramatic end.
