Chris Ledoux - Honky Tonk World lyrics

rate me

There used to be a time candlelight and wine

Was all that a woman would need

Man you were a winner if you took her out to dinner

Or a movie she wanted to see

But the world has turned and it's time you learned

That the old ain't working no more

Yeah the rules have changed it's a brand new game

And buddy if you want to score

CHORUS

You've for to get off the couch

Get out of the house

Long about Friday night

Shine up your boots

Polish up your moves

If you want to keep her satisfied

Oh a little bump and grind'll

Do it every time

If you want to keep your little girl

But you don't stand a chance

'Less you take her out and dance

Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

Sooner or later all you couch potatoes

Are gonna be the lonely ones

If you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up

And you better know your Brook's from your Dunn's

Don't even think that your Englebert Humperdink record's gonna turn her on

Cause mister you can bet if you don't know the steps

Then you're gonna get left at home

CHORUS

If you were cro-magnon you'd be draggin' them women

By the hair to your cave

You'd be down on your knees citing them soliloquies

Back in Romeo's day

You'd e kind of nifty if we were in the Fifties

And you had a cool car to drive

But we're livinin' in the Nineties so you better shake your hiney

Or you're gonna get left behind

CHORUS

No you don't stand a chance

'Less you take her out and dance

Cause we're living in a honky tonk world
