Playing Every Honky Tonk In Town
Heather Myles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Playin' every honky tonk in town;
Singin' every song I know to the new family I've found.
So if you're lookin' for me, start makin' your rounds,
Because I'm playin' every honky tonk in town.

Ever since you left me, for somebody new,
I thought my world had ended, but now I'm over you.
Now you've given me this new life, and I know right where I'm bound,
Because I'm playin' every honky tonk in town.

Instrumental break.

You won't see no bright lights, but there's a neon sign,
A jukebox in the corner and I'm there 'til closin' time.
Now I go to bed each mornin', wake when the sun goes down,
Because I'm playin' every honky tonk in town.

So if you're lookin' for me, start makin' your rounds,
Because I'm playin' every honky tonk in town.


Because I'm playin' every honky tonk in town.
