Aaron Watson - The Honky Tonk Kid
DHe’s wrinkled and gray
But he’s stGill got the fDire
And he singAs on the stage
Like a bGird on a Dwire
Oh he’ll pack ‘em in
Just like Ghe always dDid
Oh everyAbody loves the hGonky tonk Dkid
He got his first guitar
When he was 15
Thirstin’ for knowledge
All hungry and green
Strummin’ that six string
Just like Lefty did
Everybody loves the honky tonk kid
[Chorus]
Well the hGonky tonk kid loves the hDonky tonk crowd
AHe picks them up when this wGorld gets them Ddown
But all the smGoke and the neon keep his paDin hidA  
Oh nobody knows the hGonky tonk kidD  
Ten million fans
And a handful of friends
But he’ll go home alone
When each night ends
He’ll think about her
And then twist off a lid
Nobody loves the honky tonk kid
[Chorus]
Well the hGonky tonk kid loves the hDonky tonk crowd
AHe picks them up when this wGorld gets them Ddown
But all the smGoke and the neon keep his paDin hidA  
Oh nobody knows the hGonky tonk kidD  
[Chorus]
Well the hGonky tonk kid loves the hDonky tonk crowd
AHe picks them up when this wGorld gets them Ddown
But all the smGoke and the neon keep his paDin hidA  
Oh nobody knows the hGonky tonk kidD  
It won’t be long
The Lord will take him away
He’ll have sung his last song
They’ll place a wreath on his grave
Oh and he’ll draw a crowd
Just like he always did
Oh one last goodbye for the honky tonk kid
