Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridgeIce creates the water that's no longer runnin' under itStool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heartCigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyesThe jukebox plays Hank, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they areAnd that's what happens in every little honky tonk barFriday night, it's a givenI'll be L-I-V-N, livin'We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the carMonday morning, it's a givenI'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'And that's what happens in every little honky tonk barNeon lights flashing bright 'til you're almost hypnotizedWaitress short skirt, gets it on by every guyComin' and goin', always rollin' with the flowBartender pourin' drinks, Código double shotYou think you're tall and bulletproof until somebody says you're notYou step outside thinkin' you're gonna show 'em you areAnd that's what happens in every little honky tonk barFriday night, it's a givenWe'll be L-I-V-N, livin'We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleeping it off in the carMonday morning, it's a givenWe'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'And that's what happens in every little honky tonk barYeah that's what happens in every little honky tonk barWhiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
