[Intro]
G Em C G D
[Verse 1]
G
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Em
Ice creates the water that's no longer runnin' under it
G Em C D
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart
G
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
Em
The jukebox plays Hank, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
G Em C D
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are
G Em C G
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
[Chorus]
G Em
Friday night, it's a given
Em G
I'll be L-I-V-N, livin'
C Em G Em
We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the car
G Em
Monday morning, it's a given
Em G
I'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
G Em C G
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
[Verse 2]
G
Neon lights flashing bright 'til you're almost hypnotized
Em
Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy
G Em C D
Comin' and goin', always rollin' with the flow
G
Bartender, pour our drinks; Codigo, do a shot
Em
You think you're tall and bulletproof
Em
Until somebody says you're not
G Em C D
You step outside thinkin' you're gonna show 'em you are
G Em C G
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
[Chorus]
G Em
Friday night, it's a given
Em G
We'll be L-I-V-N, livin'
C Em G Em
We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the car
G Em
Monday morning, it's a given
Em G
We'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
G Em C G
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
G Em C G

Yeah, that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar
[Outro]

Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
