He’s wrinkled and gray but he’s still got the fire
And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire
He’ll pack ’em in just like he always did
Everybody loves the Honky Tonk Kid

He got his first guitar when he was fifteen
Thirstin’ for knowledge, all hungry and green
Strummin’ that six string just like Lefty did
Everybody loves the Honky Tonk Kid

[Chorus]
Well the Honky Tonk Kid loves a honky tonk crowd
He picks them up when this world gets them down
All the smoke and the neon keep his pain here
Nobody knows the Honky Tonk Kid

Ten million fans and a hand full of friends
He’ll go home alone when each night ends
He’ll think about her and he’ll twist off the lid
Cause nobody loves The Honky Tonk Kid

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

It won’t be long the lord will take him away
He’d sung his last song, they’ll place a reef on his grave
But he’ll draw a crowd just like he always did
One last goodbye for the Honky Tonk Kid

I am an avid Mac-user, nerd, musician, freelancer, and gamer. Ask me about my collection of M:TG cards! I've also got a horrible habit of needing the absolute newest technological wonder, whether it's stable or not. If they made a home-version of the LHC, I'd have 2. Additionally, I've been playing music for the better part of 14 years. I'm self-taught on piano, guitar, trumpet, trombone, sax, clarinet, bass, drums and other percussion, and around 10 other instruments. I also spend quite a bit of time dabbling in synthesizers, sequencers, and samplers. I'm also founder of Quotelicious where I collect and share the quotes I love.
