Texas Honky Tonk
Texas Honky Tonk: Home in Neon Glow
Lyrics
I hear the old familiar sound
I recognize the familiar sounds
Turning in the parking lot
Turning my vehicle in the parking lot
Beneath these tires of my old truck
My old truck's tires rolling over gravel rock
Rolling over gravel rock
Describing the rough terrain beneath
A big night hot band just come in
A lively band has just arrived
There's buckles and tight jeans
People wearing buckles and tight jeans
Neon glowing and fiddle smoking
Neon lights shining, and a fiddle playing
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Expressing contentment with the current location
Than Texas Honky Tonk
Expressing a preference for a Texas honky-tonk
There's no place like home
Comparing the honky-tonk to home
An old worn out wooden dance floor
Referring to a worn-out wooden dance floor
And neon signs on the wall
Describing the presence of neon signs
Music mixing with the constant talk
Music blending with ongoing conversations
Boots sliding on that old sawdust
Describing the movement of boots on sawdust
Ain't no place I'd rather be than Texas Honky Tonk
Reiterating a preference for the honky-tonk
Keep that beer coming
Encouraging the continuation of beer service
There's small talk between the songs
Noting casual conversations during musical breaks
Checking out who all is there
Observing the crowd present
For one night troubles are gone
Highlighting a temporary escape from troubles
Then there's last call
Referring to the announcement of the last serving of drinks
Crowds head for that exit door
Describing the departure of the crowd
We'll do it all again next week
Expressing anticipation for the next week's repetition
Another Saturday night gone
Summarizing the passing of another Saturday night
At Texas Honky Tonk
Reaffirming the honky-tonk as a preferred place
There's no place like home
Comparing the honky-tonk to home (repeated)
An old worn out wooden dance floor
Referring again to the worn-out dance floor
And neon signs on the wall
Reiterating the presence of neon signs
Music mixing with the constant talk
Emphasizing the mix of music and conversations
Boots sliding on that old sawdust
Repeating the description of boots on sawdust
Ain't no place I'd rather be than Texas Honky Tonk
Reaffirming the preference for the honky-tonk
Slide into my pick-up truck
Describing leaving in a pickup truck
Straits on the radio
Mentioning George Strait playing on the radio
Pull out of the parking lot
Exiting the parking lot
It's time to hit the road
Indicating the end of the evening and the need to leave
Texas Honky Tonk
Reiterating the preference for the Texas honky-tonk
There's no place like home
Comparing the honky-tonk to home (repeated)
An old worn out wooden dance floor
Referring again to the worn-out dance floor
And neon signs on the wall
Reiterating the presence of neon signs
Music mixing with the constant talk
Emphasizing the mix of music and conversations
Boots sliding on that old sawdust
Repeating the description of boots on sawdust
Ain't no place I'd rather be than Texas Honky Tonk
Reaffirming the preference for the honky-tonk
There ain't no place I'd rather be than Texas Honky Tonk
Finalizing the strong preference for the Texas honky-tonk
