Chesnutt Mark - Somebody Save The Honky Tonks

I drove down to The Trap but the joint was closed


Lately they’ve been droppin’ like Dominos


All of my favorite waterin’ holes are dryin’ up


Tell me is it too much for a man to ask


To hear Haggard and Jones sing CC Waterback


With the lights so low


And cold drafts will cost you one buck


Enough’s enough.





Chorus:


Somebody save the honky tonks


The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox


Where’s the workin’ man gonna go to get tore up


When the last one’s tore down


Somebody save the neon lights


And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line


Everyday another piece of history’s lost


Somebody save the honky tonks.





Well, it’s enough to bring a tear to a blood shot eye


Not knowin’ where to go on a Friday night


To get down and get loud


And unwind from a hard day


Listen, we the people got a make a stand


Maybe write a letter to our congressman


Show some support for the drinkin’ man


We can’t wait, until it’s too late.





Chorus:


Somebody save the honky tonks


The hard wood floor and the quarter jukebox


Where’s the workin’ man gonna go to get tore up


When the last one’s tore down


Somebody Save the neon lights


And the cinderblock shacks crossed the county line


Everyday another piece of history’s lost


Somebody save the honky tonks.





Why don’t they take that ol’ wreckin’ ball


To the uppity bars, down at the mall


All I’m askin, all I want


Somebody save the honky tonks.
