As the Honky Tonk Turns
As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool
Pourin' cold ones down
Watchin' hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical evenin'
As the honky tonk turns
Ol' Frank always plays the same ol' song
And sometimes he even thinks that he's George Jones
But it tears ol' Lester up to hear that jukebox play his life
And he'll tell us once again
Just how he lost his wife
As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool
Pourin' cold ones down
Watchin' hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical evenin'
As the honky tonk turns
Last night I watched Charlene fall in love
For the third time this week that I know of
But tonight she'll be here feeling sorry for herself
Drinkin' like there's no tomorrow
And leaning on somebody else
As the honky tonk turns
And the world goes 'round
I'll be sittin' on a bar stool
Pourin' cold ones down
Watchin' hearts get broken
From hard lessons they've learned
It's just a typical evenin'
As the honky tonk turns
It's just a typical evenin'
As the honky tonk turns...
