These old honky-tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in 63 Oh,
swinging doors ain't swinging
And they ain't singing about cheating
And these old honky-tonks ain't nothing
like they used to be
And these days what they call dancing
Ain't even close to old two-stepping As
you used to hold your partner to a closing
tie
And I miss the smell of smoking
And
the sound of long necks opening The
taste of getting stoned on cheap red wine
These old honky-tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in 63 Oh,
swinging doors ain't swinging
And they ain't singing about cheating
And these old honky-tonks ain't nothing
like they used to be
Well, he drank beer and shoots and fools
Get half drunk and act a fool
And some guy would say the wrong
thing to
me
And we'd wind up in the parking lot
Fighting over the girl you brought Hell,
I lost a few,
but not the memories
These old honky-tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
The jukebox ain't country like back in 63
Oh,
swinging doors ain't swinging And they ain't singing about cheating
And these old honky-tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
And these old honky-tonks ain't nothing like they used to be
