[00:03.87]If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
[00:09.24]And it revolved around an old jukebox,
[00:14.09]We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
[00:17.13]Over cryin' steel guitars,
[00:19.63]And soon, they'd all be gone.
[00:23.90]Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
[00:26.62]I'd say: "We'd be better off,
[00:28.94]"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
[00:33.89]You could smoke that cigarette,
[00:38.82]be politically incorrect.
[00:43.28]Show off that red 'round your neck:
[00:48.41]Not hear a single soul object.
[00:53.34]Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide,
[00:58.67]Who is wrong and who is right.
[01:03.12]No need for big expensive trials:
[01:08.48]Brother, we'd just step outside.
[01:13.45]If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
[01:17.90]And it revolved around an old jukebox,
[01:22.57]We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
[01:25.64]Over cryin' steel guitars,
[01:28.23]And soon, they'd all be gone.
[01:32.61]Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
[01:35.34]I'd say: "We'd be better off,
[01:37.60]"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
[01:42.85]Wouldn't have to pay no tax:
[01:47.28]Just set a tip jar in the back.
[01:52.25]If we ran low, we'd pass the hat:
[01:57.23]I bet we'd all be in the black,
[02:02.06]If the whole world was a honky-tonk.
[02:21.44]And if you're lookin' for love:
[02:26.33]Someone to heal that broken heart.
[02:31.21]Hey, buddy, you'd be in half.
[02:36.16]You wouldn't have to go that far.
[02:41.23]If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
[02:46.50]And it revolved around an old jukebox,
[02:51.38]We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
[02:54.18]Over cryin' steel guitars,
[02:56.78]And soon, they'd all be gone.
[03:01.32]If you asked me what I thought,
[03:03.92]I'd say: "We'd be better off,
[03:06.19]"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
[03:11.21]Life would be a three-chord song,
[03:14.09]And the king would be George Jones,
[03:18.79]If the whole world was a honky-tonk.
