Lyrics Detail
If the whole world was a honky-tonk
[ti:If the whole world was a honky-tonk]
[ar:George Strait]
[al:]
If the whole world was a honky-tonk'
And it revolved around an old jukebox'
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar'
Over cryin' steel guitars'
And soon' they'd all be gone.
Yeah' if you asked me what I thought'
I'd say: "We'd be better off'
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
You could smoke that cigarette'
Be politically incorrect.
Show off that red 'round your neck:
Not hear a single soul object.
Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide'
Who is wrong and who is right.
No need for big expensive trials:
Brother' we'd just step outside.
If the whole world was a honky-tonk'
And it revolved around an old jukebox'
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar'
Over cryin' steel guitars'
And soon' they'd all be gone.
Yeah' if you asked me what I thought'
I'd say: "We'd be better off'
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
Wouldn't have to pay no tax:
Just set a tip jar in the back.
If we ran low' we'd pass the hat:
I bet we'd all be in the black'
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.
And if you're lookin' for love:
Someone to heal that broken heart.
Hey' buddy' you'd be in half.
You wouldn't have to go that far.
If the whole world was a honky-tonk'
And it revolved around an old jukebox'
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar'
Over cryin' steel guitars'
And soon' they'd all be gone.
If you asked me what I thought'
I'd say: "We'd be better off'
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
Life would be a three-chord song'
And the king would be George Jones'
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.
