Toby Keith – Honkytonk U: Lyrics and Music Video

Honkytonk U Lyrics

My Grandmother Owned A Nightclub
On The Arkansas-oklahoma Line
Momma Put Me On A Greyhound,
And I Went To Stay With Her In The Summertime
I’d Box Up Those Empty Longnecks And
Stack ’em In The Back And Make A Hand
Then At Night She’d Let Me Sneak Out Of The Kitchen
And Sit In With The Band

Yes, I Have Sacked Some Quarterbacks And Broke
My Share Of Bones Along The Way
I Knew It Wouldn’t Last Forever,
Semi-pro Always Means Semi-paid
I Started Climbin’ Drillin’ Rigs,
I’m Oil Field Trash And Proud As I Can Be
Then I Took My Songs And Guitar
And Sang ’em To A Man From Tennessee

I’ve Played Every Beer Joint Tavern
From New York City Out To Pasadena
Every Corn Dog Fair And Rodeo
And Sold Out Every Basketball Arena
I Like To Get Down With My Boys From Afghanistan And Baghdad City Too
I Am A Red, White And Blue Blooded Graduate Of Honkytonk U

A Star Can’t Burn Forever, And The Brightest Ones Will Someday Lose
Their Shine
But The Glass Won’t Ever Be Half Empty In My Optimistic Mind
I’ll Still Have A Song To Sing And A Band To Turn It Ip And Play It
Loud, As Long As There’s A Bar Room With A Corner Stage And A Honkytonk
Crowd
