Honky Tonk History

HONKY TONK HISTORY
(Patrick Jason Matthews/Luke Bryan)

I got these calluses from all those nights
Spent playin' the Telecaster 'til my fingers bled Bud Light
And 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've got a long
Honky tonk history

See this solid gold watch and chain
Took it off a Texas oil tycoon in a back room poker game
Look at these holes in my tailgate
They’re from Suzy Johnson's husband’s snub-nosed .38
Well, thank God he’s a bad shot and I had that toolbox between him and me
Right or wrong
That’s my honky tonk history

I love the smell of cigarettes
Whiskey on a woman’s breath
The sound of outlaw music sets me free
Blame it on
My honky tonk history, yeah!

Just like my daddy
And my daddy’s daddy
And his daddy before him
Just like my daddy
And my daddy’s daddy
And his daddy before him

I love the smell of cigarettes
Whiskey on a woman’s breath
The sound of outlaw music sets me free
Right or wrong
I'm just carryin' on
My honky tonk
My honky tonk history, yeah!
