[Verse 1]
F
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
Dm
Ice creates the water that's no longer runnin' under it
Bb                                                        C
Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart

F
Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
    Dm
The jukebox plays Hank, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
Bb                                                    C
Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are
    Bb                     C                       F
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar


[Chorus]
       Bb            C
Friday night, it's a given
        F        Dm
I'll be L-I-V-N, livin'
      Bb                          C                      F
We'll dance on the bar 'til we're sleepin' it off in the car
       Bb              C
Monday mornin', it's a given'
        F          Dm
I'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
    Bb                     C                       F
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar

Neon lights flashin' bright 'til you're almost hypnotized
Dm
Waitress short skirt, gets hit on by every guy
Bb                                         C
Comin' and goin', always rollin' with the flow
F
Bartender pourin' drinks, Código double shot
    Dm
You think you're tall and bulletproof until somebody says you're not
    Bb                                               C
You step outside thinkin' you're gonna show 'em you are
    Bb                     C                       F
And that's what happens in every little honky tonk bar

       Bb              C
Monday mornin', it's a given'
         F          Dm
We'll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin'
