Chris Ledoux Honky Tonk World Lyrics

Honky Tonk World Lyrics

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 brand new game and buddy if you want to
score



You've got 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 will 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







Well 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 Engelbert 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



You've got to get off the couch...



[ guitar - fiddle ]



Now if you were cro-magnon you'd be draggin' them woman by the hair to your
cave



You'd be down on your knees citing them soliloquies back in Romeo's day



Yeah you'd be kind of nifty if we were in the Fifties and you had a cool car to
drive



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



Or you're gonna get left behind



You've got to get off the couch...



No you don't stand a chance less you take her out and dance



Cause we're living in a honky tonk world



[ piano - guitar - fiddle ]
