Honkytonkville
by: George StraitThought I'd go crazy when you said goodbye
I didn't have that far to go
But I made a wrong turn somewhere in the night
Down a long and lonely road
To Honkytonkville, an ideal
Home away from home sweet home
Honkytonkville, where I don't feel
A thing since you've been gone
Where the future's always bright
In the glow of neon lights
Livin' high on barstool hill in Honkytonkville
There's friendly faces everywhere I turn
Droppin' quarters in the slot
Lord, knows that we've all got memories to burn
And that's why that jukebox plays around the clock
And Honkytonkville, an ideal
Home away from home sweet home
Honkytonkville, where I don't feel
A thing since you've been gone
Where the future's always bright
In the glow of neon lights
Livin' high on barstool hill in Honkytonkville
