Wayne Mills Band - The Last Honky Tonk lyrics

rate me

Well the way things are going

It won’t be very long

Til them flashing neon signs

Are all but gone

They say the night life ain't the right life

Pour the whiskey down the drain

Melt down all those 45's

That talk about trucks and trains

[Chorus]

I'll be there when they burn

The last Honky Tonk down

In body mind and spirit

Under the table or under the ground

The fading echoes of a bar room band

Might be the only sound

I'll be there when they burn

The last Honky Tonk down

Pull the jukebox from the ashes

Dust it off and turn it on

We'll dance in the burning embers

Until dawn

Pull a double from the rubble

And we'll drink to the good ole days

Sit there til the smoke clears

And my last selection plays

[Chorus]

I'll be there when they burn

The last Honky Tonk down

In body mind and spirit

Under the table or under the ground

The fading echoes of a bar room band

Might be the only sound

I'll be there when they burn

The last Honky Tonk down

[repeat]

I'll be there when they burn

the last Honky Tonk down

<br />

<br />
