"Nothing Like They Used To Be" lyrics
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
These days what they call dancing
Ain't even close to old two stepping
You used to hold your partner till closing time
Man, I miss the smell of smoking
And the sound of long necks opening
The taste of getting stoned on cheap red wine
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
We drink beer and shoot some pool
Get half-drunk and act a fool
Some guy would say the wrong thing to me
We'd wind up in the parking lot
Fighting over the girl you brought
Hell, I lost a few but not the memories
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
These days what they call dancing
Ain't even close to old two stepping
You used to hold your partner till closing time
Man, I miss the smell of smoking
And the sound of long necks opening
The taste of getting stoned on cheap red wine
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
We drink beer and shoot some pool
Get half-drunk and act a fool
Some guy would say the wrong thing to me
We'd wind up in the parking lot
Fighting over the girl you brought
Hell, I lost a few but not the memories
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in '63
Those swinging doors ain't swinging
They ain't singing 'bout cheating
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
These old honky tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
