"What Happens In A HonkyTonk" lyrics

Well, my good buddy's gal said
How did it go when ya'll went out last night
Did he get too drunk did he act a fool
Did he wind up in a fight
I said I'd like to tell ya I swear I would
But our guy code is no tell
All I'll can say is we had a ball
And nobody went to jail

What happens in a honkytonk
Stays in a honkytonk
We'd all be in trouble
If the whiskey spilled
And the walls could talk
It's a story old as time
I get your back you get mine
What happens in a honkytonk
Stays in a honkytonk

I pled the fifth about the fifth of jack
We downed before midnight
And I pretended that I didn't see him
Dancin' in the neon light
Told her the truth but it was eighty proof
You know a drunk would never lie
If he was raisin' hell
She'd be the first I'd tell
Fingers crossed and hope to die

What happens in a honkytonk
Stays in a honkytonk
We'd all be in trouble
If the whiskey spilled
And the walls could talk
It's a story old as time
I get your back you get mine
What happens in a honkytonk
Stays in a honkytonk

What happens in a honkytonk
Stays in a honkytonk
We'd all be in trouble
If the whiskey spilled
And the walls could talk
It's a story old as time
I get your back you get mine
What happens in a honkytonk
Stays in a honkytonk
What happens in a honkytonk
Stays in a honkytonk
