A D I D drove down to The Trap but the joint was closed
Lately they?ve been droppin? like Dominos
A All of my favorite waterin? holes are D dryin? up
Tell me is it too much
For a man to ask
To hear Haggard and Jones sing CC Water A back
With the lights so low
And cold drafts will cost you one D buck
Enough?s enough.
G Somebody Save The Honky Tonks
The D hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox A
Where?s the workin? man gonna go to get D tore up
When the last one?s tore down
G Somebody Save the neon lights
And the D cinderblock shacks crossed the county line
A Everyday another piece of history?s lost
Somebody Save The D Honky Tonks. A D B
Well it?s E enough to bring a tear to a blood shot eye
Not knowin? where to go on a Friday night
To get B down and get loud
And unwind from a E hard day
Listen, we the people got a make a stand
Maybe write a letter to our congressman
B Show some support for the drinkin? man
We E can?t wait, until it?s too late.
Chorus2:
A Somebody Save The Honky Tonks
The E hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox
B Where?s the workin? man gonna go to get E tore up
When the last one?s tore down
A Somebody Save the neon lights
And the E cinderblock shacks crossed the county line
B Everyday another piece of history?s lost
Somebody Save The E Honky Tonks.
B Why don?t they take that ol? wreckin? ball
To the uppity bars, down at the mall
All I?m askin, all I want
E(Stop) B E
Somebody Save The Honky Tonks.
