If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk,
And It Revolved Around An Old Jukebox,
We'd Tell Our Troubles To The Bar,
Over Cryin' Steel Guitars,
And Soon, They'd All Be Gone.
Yeah, If You Asked Me What I Thought,
I'd Say: "We'd Be Better Off,
"If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk."

You Could Smoke That Cigarette,
An' Be Politically Incorrect.
Show Off That Red 'round Your Neck:
Not Hear A Single Soul Object.
Wouldn't Need No Lawyers To Decide,
Who Is Wrong And Who Is Right.
No Need For Big Expensive Trials:
Brother, We'd Just Step Outside.

If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk,
And It Revolved Around An Old Jukebox,
We'd Tell Our Troubles To The Bar,
Over Cryin' Steel Guitars,
And Soon, They'd All Be Gone.
Yeah, If You Asked Me What I Thought,
I'd Say: "We'd Be Better Off,
"If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk."

Wouldn't Have To Pay No Tax:
Just Set A Tip Jar In The Back.
If We Ran Low, We'd Pass The Hat:
I Bet We'd All Be In The Black,
If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk.

And If You're Lookin' Love:
Someone To Heal That Broken Heart.
Hey, Buddy, You'd Be In Half.
You Wouldn't Have To Go That Far.

If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk,
And It Revolved Around An Old Jukebox,
We'd Tell Our Troubles To The Bar,
Over Cryin' Steel Guitars,
And Soon, They'd All Be Gone.
If You Asked Me What I Thought,
I'd Say: "We'd Be Better Off,
"If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk."

Life Would Be A Three-chord Song,
And The King Would Be George Jones,
If The Whole World Was A Honky-tonk.
