Honky-Tonk World (1994)
Well there used to be a time when candlelight and wine was all that a woman would need
And man you'd be a winner if you took her out to dinner or a movie she'd been wanted to see
But the world has turned and it's time you learned that the old ain't a-working no more
Yeah the rules have changed and it's a brand new game and buddy if you want to score

You gotta get off the couch, get out of the house along about Friday night
Shine up your boots; polish up your moves if you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time if you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause we're living in a honky-tonk world

Well sooner or later all you couch potaters well you're gonna be the lonely ones
And if you want good loving then you gotta keep up
And you better know your Brooks from your Dunn's
Yeah don't even think that your Engelbert Humperdinck record's gonna turn her on
Cause mister you can bet that if you don't know the steps
Well you're gonna get left at home

You gotta get off the couch, get out of the house along about Friday night

Shine up your boots; polish up your moves if you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause we're living in a honky-tonk world

Now if you were crow-magnon you'd be a-bragging that woman by the hair to your cave
You'd be down on your knee reciting those soliloquies back in Romeo's days
And it would be nifty in we were in the fifties and you had a cool car to drive
But were living in the nineties so you better shake you hinny or your gonna get left behind

You gotta get off the couch, get out of the house along about Friday night
Shine up your boots; polish up your moves if you want to keep her satisfied
You know a little bump and grind will do it every time if you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause we're living in a honky-tonk world
No you don't stand a chance unless you take her out and dance
Cause we're living in a honky-tonk world
