Verse 1
We're A Honky Tonk Band, And We Roam From Town To Town
We're Here To Pick You Up, When You're Feeling Down
So Get Up And Dance, And Twirl That Girl Around
'Cause We're A Honky Tonk Band,
And We'll Never Let You Down
Verse 2
Last Week In Montana, Billy Took A Wrong Turn
Lost In Kalispell, At The Bull Moose Saloon
Jukebox Was Quiet, So We Set Up To Play
When I Turned To Face The Crowd,
It Took My Breath Away
Chorus
I'm In Honky Tonk Hell,
Not A Lady In Sight
At A Quilters Retreat,
Protesting Ladies Night
We're A Honky Tonk Band,
No Perfume To Smell
Only Cowboys Wall To Wall,
I'm In Honky Tonk Hell

Verse 3
I Said, "This Is Trouble Boys, We're All Dead As Can Be"
That's When Billy Stepped Up, From Nashville, Tennessee
He Said, "Don't Worry Boys, We've Got The Perfect Song"
Then The Whole Place Came Alive,
And They All Sang Along
