Got these calluses from all those nights Spent playing a telecaster, till my fingers bled bud light I got this scar in a beer bar brawl Outside of Tuscaloosa, stitched it up in a bathroom stall And I got this tattoo in the back of a pool room in east Tennessee Oh, I got a long honkey-tonk history See this solid gold watch change hand Took it off a Texas oil tycoon in a backwoods poker game Look at these holes in my tailgate Their from Suzy Johnson's husband's snub nose 38 Thank god he's a bad shot and I had that toolbox, between him and me
Right or wrong that's my honkey-tonk history I love the smell of cigarette's And whiskey on a woman's breath The sound of outlaw music sets me free Blame it on my honkey-tonk history, oh I'm just like my daddy and my daddy's daddy (And his daddy before him) I'm just like my daddy, and his daddy's daddy (And his daddy before him) I love the smell of cigarette's And whiskey on a woman's breath The sound of outlaw music sets me free Right or wrong just carrying on my honkey-tonk, honkey-tonk history Yeah, oh ho
