If the whole world was a honky tonk
And it revolved around an old jukebox
We'd tell our troubles to the bar
Over cryin' steel guitars
And soon they'd all be gone
If you asked me what I thought
I'd say we'd be better off
If the whole world was a honky tonk
You could smoke that cigarette
Be politically incorrect
Show off that red around your neck
Not hear a single soul object
Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide
Who is wrong and who is right
No need for big expensive trials
Brother we'd just step outside
Repeat Chorus
Wouldn't have to pay no tax
Just set a tip jar in the back
If we ran low we'd pass the hat
I bet we'd all be in the black
If the whole world was a honky tonk
And if you're lookin' for love
Someone to heal that broken heart
Hey, buddy, you'd be in luck
You wouldn't have to go that far
Repeat Chorus
Life would be a three chord song
And the king would be George Jones
If the whole world was a honky tonk
Chorus: If the whole world was a honky tonk And it revolved around an old jukebox We'd tell our troubles to the bar Over cryin' steel guitars And soon they'd all be gone If you asked me what I thought I'd say we'd be better off If the whole world was a honky tonk You could smoke that cigarette Be politically incorrect Show off that red around your neck Not hear a single soul object Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide Who is wrong and who is right No need for big expensive trials Brother we'd just step outside Repeat Chorus Wouldn't have to pay no tax Just set a tip jar in the back If we ran low we'd pass the hat I bet we'd all be in the black If the whole world was a honky tonk And if you're lookin' for love Someone to heal that broken heart Hey, buddy, you'd be in luck You wouldn't have to go that far Repeat Chorus Life would be a three chord song And the king would be George Jones If the whole world was a honky tonk Explain Request ×
