Honky-Tonk World (1994)
Well there used to be a time when candlelight and wine was all that a woman would need
And man youâd be a winner if you took her out to dinner or a movie sheâd been wanted to see
But the world has turned and itâs time you learned that the old ainât a-working no more
Yeah the rules have changed and itâs a brand new game and buddy if you want to score
You gotta get off the couch, get out of the house along about Friday night
Shine up your boots; polish up your moves if you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time if you want to keep your little girl
But you donât stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause weâre living in a honky-tonk world
Well sooner or later all you couch potaters well youâre gonna be the lonely ones
And if you want good loving then you gotta keep up
And you better know your Brooks from your Dunnâs
Yeah donât even think that your Engelbert Humperdinck recordâs gonna turn her on
Cause mister you can bet that if you donât know the steps
Well youâre gonna get left at home
You gotta get off the couch, get out of the house along about Friday night
Shine up your boots; polish up your moves if you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you donât stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause weâre living in a honky-tonk world
Now if you were crow-magnon youâd be a-bragging that woman by the hair to your cave
Youâd be down on your knee reciting those soliloquies back in Romeoâs days
And it would be nifty in we were in the fifties and you had a cool car to drive
But were living in the nineties so you better shake you hinny or your gonna get left behind
You gotta get off the couch, get out of the house along about Friday night
Shine up your boots; polish up your moves if you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time if you want to keep your little girl
But you donât stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause weâre living in a honky-tonk world
No you donât stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause weâre living in a honky-tonk world
