Jannet Bodewes - This Ain't Your Daddy's Honky Tonk lyrics

rate me

(Lonnie C. Ratliff)

Hank and Lefty owned the Jukebox back in 1952

They set the bar real high for those to come

Ernest Tubb and the Troubadours in that old Green Hornet

Showed us how to get the job done

.

Granddaddies and Grandmothers wore those hardwood floors clean out

Then passed the music down to Mom and Dad

Three generations later on that Honky Tonk Highway

Sons and daughters see just how much they can add

.

(Chorus)

This ain't your daddy's honky tonk

It's a different kind of world

We sing our share of Hank

Willie, Patsy, George and Merle

All our heroes don't wear hats .. and

We don't care that they don't

It's a different kind of world

This ain't your daddy's honky tonk

(Instrumental)

.

We took the songs we learned ... from Patsy, Hank and Lefty

Cranked 'em up then gave 'em to the world

We may follow Faron Young with a rocker like Bon Jovi

Honky Tonk Heroes, Honky Tonk girls

.

(REPEAT Chorus)

.

It's a different kind of world

This ain't your daddy's honky tonk
