Lyrics
Written by ashley goring, wade kirby and hugh simpson
If the whole world was a honky-tonk And it revolved around an old jukebox We'd tell our troubles to the bar Over cryin' steel guitars And soon, they'd all be gone Yeah, if you asked me what I thought I'd say: "we'd be better off "If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
You could smoke that cigarette An' be politically incorrect Show off that red 'round your neck: Not hear a single soul object Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide Who is wrong and who is right No need for big expensive trials: Brother, we'd just step outside
If the whole world was a honky-tonk And it revolved around an old jukebox We'd tell our troubles to the bar Over cryin' steel guitars And soon, they'd all be gone Yeah, if you asked me what I thought I'd say: "we'd be better off "If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
Wouldn't have to pay no tax: Just set a tip jar in the back If we ran low, we'd pass the hat: I bet we'd all be in the black If the whole world was a honky-tonk
Instrumental break
And if you're lookin' love: Someone to heal that broken heart Hey, buddy, you'd be in half You wouldn't have to go that far
If the whole world was a honky-tonk And it revolved around an old jukebox We'd tell our troubles to the bar Over cryin' steel guitars And soon, they'd all be gone If you asked me what I thought I'd say: "we'd be better off "If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
Life would be a three-chord song And the king would be george jones If the whole world was a honky-tonk
Instrumental fade
