Well,
if I go down in history,
I'll owe it to this misery
From all the lies you told of me
And this poor old heart you broke
How people, they might walk on by
And never even recognize
That I'm a legend in disguise
I'm not just your average Joe You'll
probably find a picture of me sippin'
on my liquor If you look up a world-class fool
And I'll say it once again,
I'm the best that's ever been
A drinkin' double's a bonus too Well,
go on,
you can shake my hand
Everybody's gonna know my
name When they hang my soul behind the bar
At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame
Now,
see those bottles in a line Everyone's a friend of mine
And we have us a real good time In spite of all the pain
But being famous has a price There's
smoke and mirrors and neon lights
I'm living proof that lonely nights Can drive a man insane
You'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor
If you look up a world-class fool And I'll say it once again,
I'm the best that's
ever been A drinkin' double's a bonus too
Well, go on,
you can shake my hand Everybody's gonna know my name
When they hang my soul behind the bar At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame
Well,
you'll probably find a picture of me sippin' on my liquor
If you look up a world-class fool And I'll say it once again,
I'm the best that's
ever been A drinkin' double's a bonus too
Well,
go on,
you can shake my hand Everybody's gonna know my name
When they hang my soul behind the bar At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame
Yeah,
they'll hang their souls behind the
bar At the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame
Oh, yeah!
Cheers, brother!
