Chorus: 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
You could smoke that cigarette Be politically incorrect Show off that red around 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
Repeat Chorus
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
And if you’re lookin’ for love Someone to heal that broken heart Hey, buddy, you’d be in luck You wouldn’t have to go that far
Repeat Chorus
Life would be a three chord song And the king would be George Jones If the whole world was a honky tonk
