The Honkey Tonk Heros

If you cross this country follow the setting sun
In every town you’ll find some guys that  really get it done
You prolly never ever even heard their names
But with a groove like that it’s a cryin’ shame
They’re  the honkey tonk heros, the best thing you’re ever gonna hear

They’ll start you out with a little chicken shack
But when it starts getting good they snatch it back
They’ll play the blues till you scream for more
But it’s when they start funkin’ that the house hits the floor
They’re the honkey tonk heros the best groove you’re ever gonna hear

Here comes Frankie he worked his 8 today
Cause he's got a big mortgage and a kid on the way                                                                
He came through the door about 10 to 9
But when the downbeat drops, he’ll be right on the time
He’s a honkey tonk hero, and they’re the best band I’ve ever heard

I heard about some people payin 5 bills a seat
To see some old rock god whip that same old beat
But in every county, in every town
It just cost 5 dollars to see the cats lay it down
They’re the honkey tonk heros, best thing you’re ever gonna hear
a group of us, on peyote, had little to share with a group on marijuana

the marijuana smokers were discussing questions of the utmost profundity and we were sticking our fingers in our navels & giggling
