Classic Country Lyrics: "Honkiest Tonkiest Beerjoint" von Dale Watson

Songs übers Trinken und Barrooms waren in den 1990ern
nicht mehr gefragt, die Country-Industrie wollte politisch
korrekte Lieder. Dem Texaner Dale Watson war dies aber
egal, er steht in der Tradition seiner Idole aus den 50ern,
60ern und 70ern, als Alkohol ein klassisches Thema in
den Countrysongs war. "Honkiest Tonkiest Beerjoint"
könnte aus dieser Zeit stammen, ist aber aus den 90ern.

It's been here for near on thirty years
Wish I had a dime for every time sombody cried a tear in 
their beer
And a penny for every smile and Ginny gave out
At the honkiest tonkiest beer joint, in town

(Chorus)
45's are on the jukebox, some old some new
They say "Hello there, pull up a chair, what can I get for 
you?"
Well that's just small talk to help you feel at home when 
you come 'round
The honkiest tonkiest beer joint, in town

If you're out on that side of town
You wanna shoot some pool or just shoot a cool one 
down
Rose's pickled eggs and sausage are by the pound
At the honkiest tonkiest beer joint, in town

(Chorus)
45's are on the jukebox, some old some new
They say "Hello there, pull up a chair, what can I get for 
you?"
Well that's just small talk to help you feel at home when 
you come 'round
The honkiest tonkiest beer joint
The honkiest tonkiest beer joint
The honkiest tonkiest beer joint, in town
