Great Honky Tonk Opening Lines

I can almost hear the stillness
As it yields to the sound of your heart beating
I can almost hear the echo
Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
And I can feel your body tremble
As you wonder what this moment holds in store
And as I put my arms around you
I can tell you've never been this far before

Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin' down that Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's a running like never before
There's a speed zone ahead that's all right
I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

I got me 10 forward gears and Georgia overdrive

I drove through the park and I searched all the bars

Where I made out with love too many times

It was alway so easy to find an unhappy woman 

Until I starterd looking for mine

Some beer drinking devil is holding my angel

And I'll know what he'll do if he's my kind

It was alway so easy to find an unhappy woman 

Until I starterd looking for mine

The beginning

Well, I loved a girl
She lived out in Pecos, and pretty as she could be
And I worked the rigs on out in Odessa
To give her whatever she needs.....

 

....the middle

 

...the inevitable ending

And sometimes they let me look up at that East Texas sky
And the rain on the pines, oh Lord, how it shines
Like my darling's little diamond in the lights of loving county

Bet it ain’t rainin’ back home

bet your sister’s still on the phone

bet mama’s in the kitchen

cookin’ fryin’ chicken

wishin’ that I hadn’t done wrong...

 


 

Standing there on Main Street 

Across from Mr Blues

my faded leather jacket

my weathered broken shoes

a chill north wind was blowin’

but the spring was comin on

as I wondered to myself, just how long I had been gone

so I strolled across ol Main St

walked down a flight of stairs 

stepped into the hall and saw that all my friends were there 

neon sign was flashing, Welcome, Come on in 

Feels so good, Feelin Good Again

George Strait's "Honky Tonk Crazy"

There's a hundred dollar bill on the table
To get me through the night
Got a tight blue jean honky tonk queen
To hold me tight


And the cowboy band's rendition
Of Texas waltz
It's music to my ears and I need to hear
To keep me from climbing the wall
