Honky Tonk Lyrics

Ace Cannon Honky Tonk

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 long necks 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' rig, 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

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 in Afghanistan and Baghdad city
Too
I am a red, white and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U

A star can't burn forever, and the brightest ones will someday lose their shine
But the glass wont
Ever be half empty in my optimistic mind
I'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it up and
Play it loud
As long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a honkytonk crowd

I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo
And sold out ever basketball arena
I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city
Too
Son I'm a red, white, and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U
That's right a red, white, and blue
Blood graduate of honkytonk U


Mi abuela era propietario de un club nocturno en la línea de Arkansas-Oklahoma
Momma put me on a greyhound, and I went Mamá me puso en un galgo, y me fui
To stay with her in the summertime A permanecer con ella en el verano
I'd box up those empty long necks and stack'em in the back and make I'd caja vacía de los cuellos largos y stack'em en la parte de atrás y hacer
A hand Una mano
Then at night she'd let me sneak out of the kitchen and sit in with the band Luego por la noche que había permítanme escabullirse fuera de la cocina y sentarse con la banda
Yes, I have sacked some quarterbacks and broke my share of bones along the way Sí, tengo algunos quarterbacks despedidos y se rompió los huesos de mi parte a lo largo del camino
I knew it wouldn't Yo sabía que no
Last forever, semi-pro always means semi-paid Durará para siempre, semi-pro siempre los medios semi-pagadas
I started climbin' drillin' rig, I'm oil field trash and Comencé a practicar escalada »drillin 'plataforma, soy basura y de campos petroleros
Proud as I can be Orgulloso como yo puedo ser
Then I took my songs and guitar and sang'em to a man from Tennessee Entonces tomé mi guitarra y las canciones y sang'em a un hombre de Tennessee

I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena He jugado cada cerveza conjunta taberna de Nueva York a la ciudad de Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo Cada perro justo de maíz y de rodeo
And sold out every basketball arena Y se venden cada ámbito de baloncesto
I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city Me gusta ir con mis niños en el Afganistán y en la ciudad de Bagdad
Too También
I am a red, white and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U Soy un rojo, azul y blanco, graduado de la sangre honkytonk U

A star can't burn forever, and the brightest ones will someday lose their shine Una estrella no puede quemar para siempre, y los más brillantes que algún día pierden su brillo
But the glass wont Pero la costumbre de vidrio
Ever be half empty in my optimistic mind Nunca medio vacío en mi mente optimista
I'll still have a song to sing and a band to turn it up and Voy a tener todavía una canción para cantar y a su vez una banda de seguridad del mismo y
Play it loud Juega fuerte
As long as there's a bar room with a corner stage and a honkytonk crowd En la medida en que hay una habitación con una barra de esquina y una etapa honkytonk multitud

I've played every beer joint tavern from New York city out to Pasadena He jugado cada cerveza conjunta taberna de Nueva York a la ciudad de Pasadena
Every corn dog fair and rodeo Cada perro justo de maíz y de rodeo
And sold out ever basketball arena Y se venden cada vez escenario de baloncesto
I like to get down with my boys in Afghanistan and Baghdad city Me gusta ir con mis niños en el Afganistán y en la ciudad de Bagdad
Too También
Son I'm a red, white, and blue blood graduate of honkytonk U Soy un hijo de rojo, blanco y azul de la sangre de posgrado honkytonk U
That's right a red, white, and blue Que el derecho de un rojo, blanco y azul
Blood graduate of honkytonk U Graduado de la sangre honkytonk U
