Aaron Watson - The Honky Tonk Kid lyrics

(Duet w/ Willie Nelson) He's wrinkled and gray but he's still got the fire And he sings on the stage like a bird on a wire He'll pack 'em in just like he always did Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid He got his first guitar when he was fifteen Thirstin' for knowledge, all hungry and green Strummin' that six string just like Lefty did Everybody loves The Honky Tonk Kid (Chorus) Well the Honky Tonk Kid loves a honky tonk crowd He picks them up when this world gets them down All the smoke and the neon keep his pain here Nobody knows The Honky Tonk Kid Ten million fans and a hand full of friends He'll go home alone when each night ends He'll think about her and he'll twist off the lid Cause nobody loves The Honky Tonk Kid Chorus (x2) It won't be long the lord will take him away He'd sung his last song, they'll place a reef on his grave But he'll draw a crowd just like he always did One last goodbye for The Honky Tonk Kid
