Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Honky Tonk Union lyrics

They got married in a honky tonk bar Said their vows on a 6-string steel guitar He's been in love from the moment he saw her All those years ago at the livestock shows He's just a rodeo clown He ain't much, just the biggest damn fool in town Now, his best man he couldn't come around cause he died a month ago down in Mexico Well, God bless the fools For breaking all the rules and fighting over their bar stools And getting married in a honky tonk bar They honeymooned in a pick up truck Threw some hay in the bed so that they might…stay up all night and laugh with the stars and the moonlight And all them U.F.O.'s with their crazy light shows He left his three-legged dog at home And let the cows loose so they could roam We don't know if they'll ever come home but that's O.K. you see, we think they ought to go free by now God bless the fools For screwing up all the rules and hanging on to their bar stools And getting married in a honky tonk bar They got married in a honky tonk bar Said their vows on a 6-string steel guitar He's been in love from the moment he saw her All those years ago at the livestock shows He's just a rodeo clown He ain't much, just the biggest damn fool in town Now, his best man he couldn't come around cause he died hard and slow down in Mexico Well, God bless us fools For stumbling all over your rules and falling off our bar stools And getting married in a honky tonk bar Getting married in a honky tonk bar
