Toby Keith "Honkytonk U" |
My grandmother owned a nightclub on the Arkansas-Oklahoma line Momma put me on a Greyhound, and I went to stay with her in the summertime I'd box up those empty longnecks and stack 'em in the back and make a hand Then at night she'd let me sneak out of the kitchen and sit in with the band Yes, I have sacked some quarterbacks and broke my share of bones along the way I knew it wouldn't last forever, semi-pro always means semi-paid I started climbin' drillin' rigs, I'm oil field trash and proud as I can be Then I took my songs and guitar and sang 'em to a man from Tennessee CHORUS I've played every beer joint tavern from New York City out to Pasadena Every corn dog fair and rodeo and sold out every basketball arena I like to get down with my boys from Afghanistan and Baghdad City too I am a red, white and blue blooded graduate of Honkytonk U A star can't burn forever, and the brightest ones will someday lose their shine But the glass won't ever be half empty in my optimistic mind I'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it ip and play it loud, As long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a honkytonk crowd REPEAT CHORUS That's right, a red, white and blue blooded graduate of Honkytonk U Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
